Pro-Lok AO-68 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Pro-Lok AO-68 door gapper actually do on a car lockout?
The AO-68 pries a gap between the car door and the frame so you can slip a pump wedge in, then work a long reach tool down into the vehicle. It is the step before the long reach tool, not the reaching tool itself, so you still need a wedge and a reach tool to finish the opening.
2) Do I need anything else besides the AO-68 to open a locked car?
Yes. The gapper only makes the opening. Plan on an air pump wedge to hold the gap once it is created, and a long reach tool to actually hit the lock button or handle inside. The AO-68 replaces the awkward first step, not the whole kit.
3) Will the Pro-Lok AO-68 scratch paint or damage the weatherstrip when I wedge the door?
It has a soft rubber bumper on it specifically to protect the vehicle where the tool bears against the door. That is the contact point you want against painted sheet metal, and it is why this is preferred over an improvised pry bar on a customer's car.
4) Is the Pro-Lok AO-68 the same thing as a One Hand Jack?
It is described as similar to a standard One Hand Jack, and it works the same way in practice: one-handed pressure to open a gap at the top of the door. The AO-68 is a dual tool, so it also carries a slide lock function alongside the gapping job.
5) Is this a professional locksmith tool or something for a homeowner's glovebox?
Pro-Lok lists the AO-68 as a commercial automotive tool, and it is built for repeat lockout work by locksmiths, roadside service, and fleet or repo operators rather than occasional personal use.
6) What is the slide lock function on the Pro-Lok AO-68 for?
Besides gapping the door, the AO-68 is listed with a slide lock tool feature, which is what makes it a dual tool rather than a single-purpose jack. One tool on the belt covers the gap and the slide lock work on a lockout.
7) How many versions of the Pro-Lok AO-68 gapper are there?
One. The gapper dual tool is sold as a single model, AO-68, with no size, handing, or finish choices to specify when ordering.
