SouthOrd Top of Keyway Tension Tool for Recessed Plugs (.030”)

The SouthOrd Top of the Keyway (TOK) Tension Tool for Recessed Plugs (.030") provides precision-engineered performance with a design refined by lockpicking expert Christina Palmer. Created to address the specific challenges of recessed plug locks, this tool features thoughtful improvements over standard TOK wrenches for better control, fit, and versatility.

The extended short blade spans standard and shallow recessed plugs with ease, while the reduced length and refined radius of the long blade allow flush, precise placement in deep recessed plugs. Its narrow profile also enables bottom-of-the-keyway use, expanding its functionality. Made from stainless steel for exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, the tool includes clearly marked thickness for instant identification and smooth blade edges to prevent keyway damage—making it ideal for professional locksmiths and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
