ABSTRACT:
A tool for use in aligning a vehicle door. A vehicle typically has a door lock assembly which receives a lock pin on the door frame, or similar article, to secure the vehicle door in a closed position. The tool of the present invention has a comparable lock pin toward one end which can be "locked" into the vehicle lock assembly and, at an opposed end, a portion for engaging the vehicle door frame lock pin. The lock pin engaging portion is structured so that, at least, the door and the door frame are horizontally fixed in a desired ajar relationship. This frees both hands of the tool user to make the desired door adjustment. The tool of the preferred embodiment is used with a standard breaker bar, with extension if necessary.
