Each tool works in a different way. However, a lock has what are called tumblers inside and each tumbler is set to a different height depending on the grooves of the key that fits it. Locksmith tools push each tumbler up or down depending on which way they need to go, and then when you get to the back, you can use a second tool to turn the key hole and unlock the lock.

Do auto jiggler keys really work if so do they work on regular doors?

Yes jiggler keys work, *but* they are designed for 'wafer' style lock. Like those found on vehicles and safes. Door locks use pins instead of wafers in the tumblers. Will they work? Possibly, but not likely. Jiggler keys are locksmith tools, so keep in mind that if your intent is not legitimate, and law enforcement catches you with locksmith tools on you in the comission of the act or while being searched while under suspicion, you may be charged with possession of burglar's tools.
