    My husband locked himself out of his office, where he keeps all his clothes. Our handyman isn’t coming for three days. Not wanting to pay a locksmith, I turned to CZcams and found you! I used the eyeglass screwdriver, and bingo the door opened! Thank you! 🎉

    0:49 to see what the INSIDE looks like that you’re working to open without visual. Literally, seeing that image made the difference & I got it open right away. This was my 3rd video to try to assess what I needed to do, and none showed the inner workings. This was a game-changer!! Thank you!! 🙌🏻

    I can’t thank you enough. I grabbed and opened a bic pen but didn’t work like the old days. Was close to breaking the dam door down and thinking I’m gonna have to pay a lot of money for the frame and a new door. As soon as I saw your video you held the key up. I was like I have those mini flat head and Philips tools. Found it and unlocked the RR door. I appreciate your knowledge. It saves me money and got the door opened without damaging it

    With my bedroom door locked I was unable to get my clothes, purse, or even my car keys. I pulled your video up and the only item I had that you mentioned could work was a large paperclip. After I hammered the end flat per your instructions it worked perfectly!!! Thank you so much for your helpful video.

  • @YM-zz5qq
    @YM-zz5qq Před 27 dny +1

  • @revenevan11
    @revenevan11 Před 2 lety +1

    I didn't have to even flatten the hanger in my case, just gave it enough force so the friction would make the spindle turn with it (or the spindle had a wide enough groove). Old doorknob, so the whole mechanism was a bit larger and possibly different, but with this video I went from blindly fumbling with my straightened coat hanger, to using the same coat hanger and getting it open! Airbnb roommates are gonna love me lol

    You were very clear - the clearest I've found, and I've been looking for HOURS . I can't get in still. I've tried all that stuff, nothing works. I took the door knob off thinking I could look at it better - the groove that you have to stick something in is apparent, but it won't turn! It's supposed to turn within the outer tube it's in, right?! It's not turning. I've tried a bunch of different things- it won't turn. As for the credit card - how on earth do you get a credit card to turn in and up?! A metrocard does it because it's flexible, but it's not strong enough. I'm losing my mind!!!! HELP!!!
