Turbo decoder
The turbo decoder is a special tool, designed for vehicle opening. It works like the vehicle's original key. This prevents damage to the vehicle lock when opening the vehicle door. Car key turbo decoders are available for many vehicle makes and models.
Lock cylinders from different vehicle manufacturers: Finding the right turbo decoder
A turbo decoder can help you open cars from the following manufacturers:
- VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Porsche
- BMW
- Fiat, Alfa Romeo
- Ford
- Volvo
- Opel + Chevrolet
- Mercedes Benz
In some cases, different lock models are installed on different types of vehicles. Cars from the VAG Group and BMW come with a test key to determine the existing lock model.
Non-destructive vehicle opening when used correctly
A locksmith turbo decoder ensures damage-free vehicle opening. Specialised expertise is not necessarily required. What is important is that the tool is used correctly. Work gently and without using force. It is best to practise on the cars you already have in your own fleet, using a range of different models. Below are a few of our tips for turbo decoding.
This will improve your opening rate:
- Treat the lock mechanism with a little oil, e.g. WD-40
- Insert the turbo decoder correctly centred (orientation point or marking like on the test key)
- Always push all pins in the turbo decoder upwards
- Always apply some tension when attempting to open the lock
- Perform 10-20 opening attempts for each setting
