Exclamation Can you Slim Jim a '93 s10 Blazer?

As I mentioned before, the Blazer I bought has no keys and both of the doors are locked along with the back door. Does anyone know if you can actually use a slim jim to unlock these doors?

Chevy garage should be able to cut you a key from the Vin code unless the locks have been changed out.

My method is start the slim jim about the middle of window, push the slim jim down about a foot or so and angle it back toward to where the latch would be in the jam, once you feel the inside edge of the door jam I pull straight up while maintaining the angle of the slim jim.

I was only kidding, But thank you for that picture hahaha!!


I personally out of the first gens I have owned was never able to slim jim the doors.
I was most likely too impatient so I just went the old "wedge in the door with a hook" method
