Deadbolts highly recommended on your doors 🚪 and bullets are a must
You got that right Dana
Shoot first ask questions later....
Ahh! The old credit card or butter knife trick.This great if you want to break in to someones bathroom.
that is the only type lock that still works with this.
Awesome and crooks will love that
locksmith here, if you look at the latch or tongue of that knob set fitted to the block of timber, on the latches flat side there is a small semi cylindrical pin. Even the cheapest locks have this feature these days, it is a deadlocking mechanism. If fitted correctly, it will stay pushed in by the door jam while the rest of the latch slips into the hole in the frame. It must be fitted correctly for this to be the case for as of it slips into the hole in the door frame with the rest of the tongue from incorrect fittment this ‘shimming’ trick will work. If the lock is fitted correctly you won’t open the door this way as the latch will become deadlocked on closing meaning no external force outside of the lock will move the latch/tongue in. It will be locked into the door frame. If you can open an external door with this method, get a locksmith out to fix it. If adjusted to a correct fitment, no one can gain entry to your home or property this easily. Cheers
I was famous, in my workplace, for opening locked conference rooms with my ID badge. Faster than calling security, and it gave me a colorful reputation.
bahahah good job to you!
MacGyver
Guess i can throw away my keys now and just have this plastic bottle universal key instead
Hahaha
Thank u from Singapore. Room door was locked at 1am and spare key was missing. Thanks to this video i managed to open my door. Many thanks once again 🙏
How silly that card trick only works on the cheapest of locks! (Ones without a card blocking locking pin)
Hollow point ammunition is a great way to prevent this from going any further.
I like 00 shot too!!👏
That’ll teach my boyfriend to stop forgetting his keys!

Thanks a lot my friend !!! It was a life saver for me today. The locksmiths were trying to rip me off for this. They were asking 165$ for this simple work after making me wait for 2 hours! They had trapped me in a way that I had no way than to accept for it. Hopelessly I watched this video and boom!! This was a miracle ! I am so thankful to you my friend!!
Welcome I’m glad it worked
To everyone in the comments...criminals ALREADY know how to do this, that’s why these type of locks should only be used inside. Outside doors should have deadbolts.
No they don't really all the would be criminal out there is like na I already knew that....bull shit but thanks thoe now I can stop breaking so many windows and try this method.
stop bashing this guy this aint new aint a secret. i knew this as a kid 48 years ago.
I locked myself out and this helped me a lot. Thank you sir.
OMG!YOU ARE GIVING TIPS TO THE THIEVES!!!
Right now I couldn’t care what thief knows what, I’m locked out 😂😂😂
Or helping someone get away when locked in a room. With all the human trafficking going on in the world every person should know this
@@crithoskins you opened my mind right there
how does it work when the latch's curved side is on the wrong side? a lot of our locks have the flat side of the latch where you'd slide a shim....
I know all the thieves will enjoy this video
Ikr 😼
🤔Hmmm...is this(your statement/comment) why you're here/why you're watching it as well...just curious?🤔 By the way...I'm not attempting to trigger you; I'm just curious...for it seems you know what thieves admire.🤔
Ok I’m just going to add that if you thoroughly watch his video, that is to say watch it to its completion, you will discover as I did that he in fact is making the video as a sort of PSA. He warns the public to not use these simple door 🚪 locking mechanisms & in turn recommends the additional use of a bolt-lock.
So yeah initially (this was while I was still watching the video) I was in total agreement & afterwards I felt a whole other way.
Corrupt governments been stealing from us for quite a while. I think we should be worried about those thieves.
Don't worry, they already know about it😉
thanks going to homedepot right away to get extra security..
Most locking latches are like the one in the mockup door section, specifically engineered to defeat this trick..... They have that little half cylinder beside the latch. When the door is closed, the striker plate holds the little half-cylinder back, and the lock mechanism will not allow the latch to slide back as it did to allow the door to close. At the end of the video, he is trying to show us how the plastic will push in the latch on the mockup, but it seems not to be going in. He likes to ignore that. This trick only works for cheap latches without the half-cylinder protection mechanism.

This trick is so old, as a locksmith, we used this trick way back in the 60's in the UK. As you can see, the key only locks the movement of the knob, not the action of the lock. If your house is fitted with this type of security, I guarantee that you don't own your house. Otherwise change your locks.
Bye and large, Insurance companies will not insure your house with this kind of security. Especially, on outside doors.
Secondly, the use of door knobs, is not a UK practice, a person using a door like that, would constantly be hurting their hands pulling the door closed, unless the Lock/Latch was at least 3 1/2 inches away from the lock side of the door, as you can see not possible with this door. As a result, door handles are considered to be a better choice rather than knobs.
Thirdly, any would be intruder, would just simply break the glass in this door, to gain entry.
I appreciate how at the end you show us how to better protect ourselves.
The bad guys out there learn that too😫
Right!!! What's the point of this video...people are sick
It popped open because the small auxiliary latch was too far into the strike, or there was no auxiliary latch at all.
The small "auxiliary" latch on the knob's latchbolt is supposed to hit the striker, but not go into the striker's hole.
If the small latch goes into the hole, then the latchbolt is vulnerable to what you just witnessed.
If the auxiliary latch stays on the striker's face and depressed, it won't allow the latchbolt to be pushed in.
Always have a “dead bolt lock” as well, so that it’s harder for anyone to get door open, if it’s a break-in or something. ❤️
That top lock is a deadbolt. This is a trick to defeat the deadbolt.
yes
@@catherinenelson4162 I don't think so. At the end, he showed the bottom lock the hack works on. It won't work on a deadbolt. At least that's how I understand it.
When the the bolt is properly engaged on the strike plate, the anti-jimmy (the small thing on the back of the bolt) prevents the latch from being depressed on modern locks made since the 90's. If the lock is improperly installed then both the bolt and the Jimmy go into the strike plate or the Jimmy sits to far away to properly engage. Try it yourself by pressing in the Jimmy while the door is open then try and press the bolt.
Good comment. If the latch was installed correctly, this method won't work.

People freaking out ought to stop a minute and realize that they have potentially just been made aware of a dangerous security flaw they previously did not know existed - and that this man has provided a method to quickly fix. He didn't invent crap locks, he showed you something important you did not know. Be angry with the manufacturers who play on your assumptions and the fact you, apparently, are not as detail-oriented as you ought to be, and perhaps lean toward an unconstructive reactionary response to new problems - a mindset demonstrated to have been used by history's great tyrants to drape themselves in power. You are dragging us all down, with your with-hunting mindsets and support of globally significant security policies that go along with it. We are not your enemies, we're just living differently and you are being sold a pack of lies that we are out to get you, in the end only to further the greedy despotism of a comparatively few people who have demonstrated already their shocking, and ultimately homicidal methods (if that's what it takes, and believe me, ultimately that is what it takes) that include passively letting disease ravage those whom they've sworn to protect and the act of aggressive warmaking including the targeting of civilians. Please, choose democracy, choose life and consider that you may have been wrong about Trump, his idol Putin and most of all, yourself. And no, that didn't feel good or I'd do it all the time. It's awful and we're just as scared as you. America cannot become an authoritarian power, you know that much I'll venture.
Absolutely works for this kinda door knobs...thanks a lot for this video...got ourselves locked outside our room at 2.30 in the night.. luckily had a pepsi bottle in hand ... couldn't have done it without your help..thanks very much
Can’t thank you enough, my door locked and I couldn’t get inside because the key was in the room. Saved me calling a locksmith. Cheers.
Doesn't work with a dead bolt lock.
😆 yes it does work but it takes longer...
#Need2Cards
We locked the keys inside a locked room in our house and ended up calling a locksmith. Goodbye $170 for like 5 minutes of work. Two weeks later it happens again. Not wanting to further contribute to the locksmith's Tahiti vacation fund, I searched CZcams and discovered this video. Took a few minutes but voila, I got it. GOD BLESS YOU! And sorry Mr. Locksmith dude.
Fu@* the locksmith, they're all thieves.
Thanks for showing me how to be a thief
I've been struggling 4hrs I tried so much that i watch on CZcams even on google until i saw this video and it finally works. Thankyou
Make sure you always carry scissors and a pop bottle in your pocket
How is possible in the 21st century, so many people don't even understand how simple door locks work. This trick been around since locks first invented.
This won't work with most locks these days as they have anti-shim mechanisms that prevent the latchbolt from depressing once the door is closed.
OMG!! You save my day. I spent more than one hour trying any other techniques and nothing worked. I tried the plastic bottle and it was all just fine in less than 5 minutes. Thank you very much for this!!
All the remarks about teaching criminals ~~ They probably already know this one .
What if your can, bottle and scissors are
in your locked house and it’s 2 in the
morning?
Thank goodness for this video. I locked myself out of my bedroom and the key no where to be found. I was hesitant but it worked! Thank u so much for posting this.
Man you just saved me tonight, I locked myself outside but open my door in 2sec after watching this, useful stuff, thanks man
Can’t be serious I did this with a credit card when I was like 7 years old.
Thank you. I'm going to make one of these and walk my neighborhood tonight and look for doors without a dead bolt. Just kidding, but I have to wonder how many seeing this video might be seriously thinking that.
I lost my key and I have been trying to get into my room for over an hour, I'm usually decent at these things except my door is built like really weirdly with odd angles and stuff (probably exactly so it's harder to break in)... This plastic cut from a water bottle trick worked on the FIRST TRY. No joke, took literally 3 seconds. I can get to my bed and all my things and I didn't even scuff the paint or hurry my door! THANK YOU, BRILLIANT IDEA! CHEERS!!
Thanks bro you saved me the locksmith fees to unlock my storage closet!
This information is good but what if there is a robbery or a thief who wants to enter house to all bad person. thus information good idea for them!
They probably know this already . Unless they're un-intelligent or have severe memory loss? Then them seeing this video might re-introduce them into a life of crime. Very sad-😵💫
This is called the fireman's friend, available on Amazon, along with lock pick sets . When I was a firefighter we had more than a few shady characters show us how to discretely enter houses. If a dishonest person wants into your house they will easily enter it.
It is common sense.
I use cards that not in used anymore. Always in my pocket! It works..
Thank you! You saved me a locksmith fee. I took an empty dishwashing liquid plastic bottle (this kind has a flat front and back) and cut out a size bigger than a credit card. Worked great!
wow!!!! I locked my son's door and I have been trying for 2 hours to unlock it! Finally, my daughter said to check on you tube!. this is the third video I watched, I and I used a credit card; it worked magic!!!! you saved my Sunday! I was already asking myself how will he get dressed for school tomorrow?
I only use 2" deadbolts w/square bolts. For that very reason.
Thank you. I will have a new lock installed immediately
It works. The trick (as shown in this video) is to get the piece of plastic right through to the other side of the door before dragging it down.
I've seen people do it with credit card or drivers license
This why you have a deadbolt lock to.they shouldn’t be showing things like this
Relax. Its to demonstrate how to open a locked INTERIOR door.
@@bz3086 it works on garage to house doors or flimsy locks to outdoors, always have more than one lock to prevent intruders ease of access. Also put metal rods or screw drivers in the garage door track to prevent it being raised.
@@bz3086 it also work's on exterior doors.
Do you have any videos on fencing stolen goods?
😂👌
You saved my life today I spend like an hour waiting for someone to open the door for me and as soon as I watched your video I opened the door! Thank u so much for ur video
O thank you so much for this video. Accidentally locked myself out from my bedroom at 2:30 am. Was worried sick who is gonna help us as our entire capital in lockdown because of covid19. After going thru many videos we found this and luckily we always keep Pepsi at home. Finally inside my bedroom after trying for 1 hour thanks to u . Blessing and love 💚💚💚
I always put a screw in the jamb. The door will clear to close. But you can't put anything through to the strike
Works like a charm
These types of basically "minor secure" locks are mostly on inside /room to room doors and not intended to be held fat for self protection much.They are good for their purpose which is to establish a modicum of personal privacy in a dwelling...bathrooms etc .to keep people from just being able to walk in easily This tip is highly useful for parents of children who get themselves accidentally locked in a bathroom etc and cat get out.. .Remember to use quality secure deadbolts ( I personally prefer with inside and outside key access) on entry and garage access doors .An don't cheap out when it comes to entry doors to your home.. heavy quality constructed sold wooden doors with minimal window features may prevent or ward off a burglary of your home Thieves will seek easier pickings if they must work too hard or take too much risk at being seen .
Thank you! You make it look so easy--my door was a lot harder to open but it worked! What made me persevere was that you said to keep doing it, because it will get easier. That was a great encouragement!
Thanks bro. You saved my life today lol.
This only works on residential locks. Commercials locks have latch guards. When they are depressed the latchbolt cannot be pushed in.
I have deadbolts. This does not work.
Thank you for sharing, I am at work alone n locked myself. Just used this n it worked. Amen
And if you don't have a can or plastic bottle just break the glass. That works on deadbolts too.
He doesn't show the same style bolt as 4:15; he would NOT be able to make the bolt move because the single latchbolt here has an extra guardbolt, the small extra bar at the back of the latch bolt, which is held flush when the door is closed. This locks the latchbolt so it will not retract freely, the detail needed to shimmy it as he shows in the earlier part. Simple latches are normally only used for interior doors. Be sure to check yours, as many are ill-fitted so the guardbolt fails to work as designed, so the latch may be pushed in when closed.
Latchbolt correctly installed prevents this attack. Good eye!
Aaaaaand now we're all on a watchlist. Great.
Ted Nugent lol. 😬👍
Ted Nugent lol I stay on one
You are a life saver man...my two year old son had locked himself from inside in the middle of the night...I was planning to kick down the door but was afraid that he might get hurt...
Thank God I found your video and was able to open the door...
Thanks brother...God bless you...
If you have a dead bolt and it's locked, this will not work.
Already explained in the video. Near the very end.
@@santosj2274
I must have missed it.
Unless a hack saw blade or a sledge hammer are handy. Not for burglary purposes , getting door open to evacuate people ,pets,birds.is best . Even a wrecking bar will do the trick. Probably door and door frame need replacement after, but it'll get the job done and faster.
The lock that you are showing with the deadbolt lock above will not open the way you showed. When the door is closed that pin in the latch gets depressed and turns the latch into a dead latch which cannot be pushed in. In the old days the door knob lock didn't have the lock latch feature, but all locking doorknobs have it which cannot be opened the way you show.
Frank Biz :
I was thinking the same thing
old trick, doesn't work with a dead bolt though ;)
Best video of this kind. Will try it out this week because it’s always happening to me. Thanks a lot!
Oh well... I have a deadbolt lock. Sorry, thieves!
“All I have to do is smash through ze glass, and we are in ze house”
Use deadbolts on all doors
I tried too many tricks and was struggling for 2 hours. Finally this trick worked but not from the upside but from down towards up.
Oh my goodness, thank you. I left the key inside the room in my home that has this lock. No outside hinges or screws and I panicked! So glad to know this trick and that it works!
If the lock was installed correctly there's a little latch on it that would prevent it
Like this Action hasn't been KNOWN since Doors have been invented!!!!!!!
Shut your FINGERS "b56"", I didn't know,,!!!!
Ah the Old Credit Card Trick.
Just tried this technique and it worked. Just had to get the feel of what I was doing. Thanks a bunch.
Two words.... Dead bolt!
OMG thank you!! this is THE ONLY one that worked for me after my son locked the closet door that i dont have a key to!!
And what do you hide in YOUR closet?
I struggled for 20min. with tools and finally you gave me the answer. 1 try = success.
Thank you!
Welcome im glad it worked 👍🏻
Lost my bedroom door key and this video saved my life... thank you for the help dude
This should be illegal 😂🤣😭
They probably made these door handle locks like this in case children or elderly get locked in restrooms or any room by mistake . so i think they're legal.
This is why it important to have a deadbolt.
Thank you! This worked on a very difficult interior door lock. Took me 10 minutes. The lock was about 6-months old so it was very solid. I put the double layer plastic in the gap, then “popped” it open with a thin plastic cooking spatula. Open!
Always go with the dead bolt!
ALWAYS ! Yes.
i hope there is not a lot of criminals watching this video,so make sure you have a deadbolt on your door.Or you can put a sign on your door that says "you are being recorded,I know who you are and i know where you live,i own a gun and a shovel".
I have a trigger on mine. If it opens while locked , you get shot . Very easy set up .
😆 funny shit
People who complain about criminals using this, criminals DON'T need this they already know how to get in if they want. Thank you for this in case I did get locked out.
This worked great! My son locked himself out of his apartment and had a locksmith on the way and called me frantic. I sent him this video and after two or three tries he cancelled the locksmith call!
Or my Kroger, CVS or any other cheap loyalty card. Been doing this since Blockbusters was a thing
Well all more doors will be triple locked now and other security measures
This is insanely good .thank u so much for making this video and sharing it .I just opened my rooms door without any expectations of this trick working but it worked and u saved my money and time
Thanks a lot. This saved my day. It really works!!
Why would you show that I deleted it off my phone
Thanks, I wanted to get a new flat screen for the super bowl...😝
Thanks man. It worked! I was trying from last night with various other methods, but only this worked!
Thank you so much! My daughter locked us out of the bathroom and your trick worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
