Buy this when the latch is the problem to solve
Some door jobs are not pin-cylinder jobs. A traveler hook is shaped to work around suitable latch and dead-latch conditions when the door and hardware allow that route.
Latch-focused tool
Made for suitable spring-latch bypass situations.
Slim working end
The hook profile helps reach around compatible hardware.
Authorised entry route
A specialist tool for trained and lawful use.

Confirm the door and latch setup first
Look at the door swing, latch condition and strike-plate setup before choosing the tool. Work slowly and stop if the route would damage hardware.
- Use only on doors you may lawfully open.
- Confirm the latch route before applying pressure.
- Pair with wedges when the gap needs careful control.
