The slim-jim that lives on your keyring
A shove-knife is the locksmith's quick way past a simple spring latch: slide it between the door and the frame, catch the angled face of the latch, and push it back so the door opens. This Lokko version shrinks that classic tool down to a flat stainless blade that rides on a keyring or sits in a wallet, so the bypass you usually leave in the van is always on you.
Slide in at the latch, angle, and push
Find the latch through the door gap, slip the blade in just above or beside it, and angle the tip onto the curved face of the bolt. A firm push retracts the latch against its spring and the door is open. On the right door it takes seconds.
This is a tool for low-security sprung latches. It will not move a thrown deadbolt or a deadlocked latch, so size up the door before you reach for it.
Full-size capability, keyring size
Most shove tools are too big to carry every day, so they get left behind exactly when you need them. This one keeps the working shape that bypasses a latch but trims it to ride with your keys. Flat stainless takes the abuse of pocket carry and keeps its edge.
It is the difference between knowing the bypass and actually having it on you.

Quick answers from the LockPickWorld bench
What does it actually do?
It presses a spring latch back through the gap between door and frame, opening doors that are only held by a sprung latch bolt.
Will it open my front door?
Only if that door is held by a simple spring latch and is not deadbolted or deadlocked. Higher-security doors need a different approach.
How is it different from the mica shims?
The shove-knife is rigid stainless for a firm push on the latch face. The mica shims are flexible cards for gaps where a blade cannot reach. Many people carry both.
Is it legal to own?
It is a standard locksmith and EDC bypass tool. Only use it on locks you are authorised to open, and check the laws where you are.
Carry the bypass, not the regret
The simplest latch is the one you can open in seconds, if you have the tool on you. Clip this to your keys and the everyday latch stops being a problem.
