That one creepy roommate with a coin 💀

[@monsparkes4031]

@@Handle441 I used to have one and my boy cousin unlocked it while I was taking a dump 💀

[@LionessMB]

Butter knifes work too, basically anything that fits in the indent can unlock those doors. Also sometimes you don’t turn it properly on the way out, it locks behind you 🤦‍♀️

[@Hearin424]

@@monsparkes4031 I unlock it with my finger nail 💀💀

[@skibalpharizz]

MY BROTHER USED HIS FINGERNAIL TO DO IT WHILE I WAS PISSING-

[@chrismarston4266]

You can also just use your fingernail

[@RavenclawGirl5968]

Who else isn't even in college but loves watching these videos!?! 🤣

[@prince-cardinal]

I often watch these videos although I myself do not go to college! :]

[@Salza02]

Me! I’m not even in college yet

[@trinavega8165]

I’m still in 8th grade but I still love these

[@khushinakum06]

I’m in college, but we don’t have dorms. They’re still great tips for a house or apartment though 😄💖

[@webbio3598]

“Hey Stan, how- what are you doing with my shoes”
“Putting dryer sheets in them”

[@cathipalmer8217]

LOL. Spraying lysol into them may be a tad more effective.

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

If you're using vacuum bags, make sure you have a small/hand held vac that you're taking with you or you'll have a bad time when you have a ton of clothes and no way to pack them/put them away

[@belleojile6115]

I’m in 8th grade but i can’t stop watching these, you can never be too prepared lol

[@kiwimiwi5452]

we have thise slits in our bathroom lockers at home, but they got lose over time so they'll just move without turning the lock rip

[@rearea1239]

i’m the oldest with three brothers
you know they did it to me all the time-

[@Ryleigh_Jade.06]

I use butter knives

[@SandyBozo]

those are the locks we have in every single room in my house and it basically defeats the purpose of a lock because someone just pulls up with a coin and barges in without warning 💀💀💀💀

[@sexmaster1298]

i already know the last one cause i got these demons called brothers 💀💀💀

[@elliesak6643]

Same here

[@MemePillow-kk4mo]

Saaaaaame but with my mom😂

[@t_ylr]

Omg I use dryer sheets like this all the time. I'll lay one on my fan to freshen up a room. Also the vacuum bags are great for when you're traveling and you don't wanna pay for extra bags.

[@karinapadtykalva4954]

To open the lock you can also use a hair clip, bobby pin and a key if it’s small enough

[@AnArtistDoesThings]

Or a butter knife! Tried it and it worked just as well

[@cornbeefcycles7336]

or your fingernails and bare hands (was very disturbing to learn)

[@shadowsoulless6227]

Most apartments have that style of door knob on the bathroom. You don't necessarily need a coin to open them.
Nowadays fewer and fewer people have coins. You can use a butter knife, a pocket knife, a trench knife, a macheting, a sword (depending on style), a flathead screwdriver, or a d4.
Hope that helps anyone that has that problem and doesn't have a coin!

[@glowingplutonium3345]

i just use my finger

[@sakureon]

Ranger rolling your clothes also helps to compact things if you don't have vacuum bags yet!

[@FernLeoRootbeer]

I can open those locks with my fingernails lol

[@thatartchick2588]

I just got locked out of my dorm last night and my lock must be different 😭
I tried a card, a knife, a coin, my key NOTHING
I had to use the public restroom down the hall and clean my makeup with a wet paper towel, and go to bed with chapped lips 💀
Thank god my contact lense case was in my room
Update: Scissors work 😌👍🏾

[@weegie3343]

pov: me in 6th grade watching this:
Yea, it’s really helpful

[@ravenalphawolf7919]

I don’t need a coin I could do it with my nail 😂

[@Thederp-gamer]

Spoons also works at last one

[@cazaresjulian14]

For the coin one I do that with my own fingernails 👀

[@veroniquelebeau2692]

Or a flat screwdriver, or a butter knife.

[@kenzie1607]

so as a child i had those locks on my room and my brothers broke in so many times 🤣

[@graceottinger237]

I had these on my bathroom doors as a kid and when me and my brothers would make fun of each other or punch each other you would run to the bathroom to lock the door and hide from the sibling hoping they wouldn’t look for a coin to unlock the door

[@catherineday8839]

I used the dryer sheet hack for my mini backpack too! It worked really well. Thanks Scott!

[@Evtheevil42]

Me in Australia where living in uni is a lot less of a thing, plus I’m 13: write that down I’ll totally need it

[@etherealeuphoria111]

i watch these all like i didn’t drop out of high school 😭

[@yourlocalwaifu8601]

You can also use both ends of a spoon

[@brundag4]

That last one reminds me of the locks in my old house, almost every lock on any inside door was like that, so my sister loved to just barge in my room when it was locked.

[@AmethystAster9]

That lock also works with nail files and even nails or keys

[@ASweetShortCake]

I learned that last tip when I was in elementary. I typically used spoons.

[@insertnamehere7161]

For the last one o learned how to open it with my finger nail

[@1xsaaturn]

same

[@AlonaBalika]

Same

[@piecia8124]

You can also use a spoon for the lock.

[@DDOD11]

For the lock one you can use a thin lego, a lego separator, end of tweezers, the back of a plastic utensil ect. (I have an older brother and our bathroom has that lock and he always locks himself in there so I need a way to get in)

[@MissA000]

You can also pick locks with Bobby pins, nail clippers, razors, butter knifes, your own nail. A lot of things

[@tocaivy9717]

Serial killers be like (Ohhhh thanks for the hack more victims)😂❤

[@fourlittlebirds6166]

Anything flat and small can fit into that turn lock. We figured out when my kids were small that flat hair clips also fit in there. Flathead screwdrivers, anything metal and flat. Plastic will snap or break. It has to be something stronger.

[@vision_walker]

I used to rent an apartment with an emergency lock and it was honestly really nice to have two locks, even tho we were inside.

[@kcastillo1234]

My college doesn’t have locks in the bathrooms they call it a safety hazard

[@roryr9639]

That last one, my home bathroom has that; you can also use your fingernails if theyre long enough or a butterknife

[@zuleykatoledo6237]

A spoon can also open the lock if it’s thin enough

[@edit_lover134_hi4]

I usually use my hand/fingers works for me!

[@xeli7597]

That’s how me and my siblings unlock our doors:[

[@daniellewilliams7581]

Thank you so much I’m gonna send it to my sister she’s in college

[@PupRiku]

Tea bags work in place of dryer sheets and may even be free if you have a store or something nearby with free hot drinks

[@ladewaade8366]

Me being able to open those locks with my nails 💀

[@jellyfrog5907]

Jokes on you. I’m not in college and I can turn those types of locks WITH MY NAILS

[@reseee_]

"put dryer sheets in their shoes"
I'm not touching them .

[@Shadowisurdoom]

for the last one it works with a butterknife or a paperclip

[@abbydills6550]

I’ve known that coin trick for yrs bc my door locks from the outside so my brother locks me out it also works with scissors

[@sylvssaturn]

we have those locks in my house, it’s really easy to just snoop on people LOL

[@kayleyhoberer]

Fun fact: with most of those doors you can also used hair clips, Bobby pins, fingernails (if they’re long enough), keys, and really anything thin and long will do the trick.

[@azrael_the_angel]

This helps alot! Tysm!!!

[@benjaminguptill5134]

Or if you don’t want to buy the vacuum bags you could get ziplock bags with a zipper and put a straw in when its not all the way zipped up. Then you can suck the air out and have it work the same way

[@flippyclippy]

i thought everyone knew how undo those locks lol

[@gracedell]

that lock also works with common inside doors. found this out when i was terrorizing my older sister with a butter knife

[@KIeinEen]

I love watching these college dorm hacks that are now (partially) irrelevant to me now as live in a flat and not in a dorm.

[@itsmattfromwiisports]

I have a courtesy lock in my bathroom and my sister unlocks it all the time with screwdrivers or scissors

[@penguineeee6440]

Your nails (if you have strong nails) also work, i have these locks in our house. You can use utensils as well

[@kawajiri_ao]

brown river emergency 😭😭😭

[@iiiinkman]

u can also just use ur nails if they’re long enough, i grew up with these things everywhere

[@GayManWithCats]

Me: or you can use a butter knife

[@prince-cardinal]

early for once! I don't plan to go to college but these are very entertaining lmao

[@jamescrumit5194]

You could also use a butter knife if you do not have a coin

[@tiktoks4yall_.]

for the lock, you can also use the metal part of a charging cable, but it could ruin it after a few times.

[@Urbatr0n]

Thanks I’ll need this 😅😊

[@proteinmilk]

Real g’s can undo the lock with bare hands

[@MexicanDuc]

Instead of using the coin you could use two fingers right on the top and left and use your finger on your right to move it up and the other finger on the left to go down and it opens pretty Easily

[@LynFlopp3d]

I grew up with those doors. We used butter knifes, but i would sometimes use my thumb nail

[@imaperson2009]

Coin also unlocks the shower room in my house
…
Useful when I get stuck in there

[@scooby_louu]

i literally have those door locks everywhere in my house and just use a comb lol

[@Popogod-jy4kj]

Omg I actually did the dryer sheet thing
My second year roommate was wayyyyy to much into working out

[@heyheyheizou]

the last one i had one of those locks on a door in my house and I would always use a key or the part of your glasses that goes on your ear

[@saramelton9439]

The last one is how I lock my sister in or out of her room

[@sillyguyLuzie]

We don’t even really have colleges where i live but this is still super interesting

[@sasaalien1215]

Samw

[@sasaalien1215]

[@GaIaxe]

Scizzors and pliers and sometimes phone chargers also work on those locks

[@marcykinni]

We had those locks at our old house and my older brothers would just unlock it with their fingernails, didn’t matter what I was doing, changing,reading,sleeping,or just on my phone💀

[@h3mera]

As a senior about to head to college, PLEASEEE MAKE MORE OF THESE ❤

I’m going to graduate next year, I’m sure all of your tips will come in handy soon! Thanks Scott!

[@Idkanymore-_-]

I just use my fingernail if I get locked out lol
I have much experience from my siblings locking my door 🥲

[@Stinkyamp]

This guy needs to make a yearly college guide with all the tips and tricks

[@irishjournalgaming]

Do people not know the last one?? That's how you open your siblings bedroom doors.

[@hisuianduck]

Yes I do the same thing because my sister watches tiktoks on he phone in there so I have to take it from her

[@lilmamax8]

Same with a butter knife on the bathroom one

[@sserafimi]

"brown river emergency" 💀

[@kylesgameingetc3776]

Instead of a coin you can use a butter knife

[@potatoesbailey146]

I already knew the lock trick because that is how me and my siblings used to break into each other’s rooms

[@Angychild]

Those locks sometimes can be opened with a flat-head screwdriver. Sometimes it won’t work but if you don’t have coins around a flat-Head Screwdriver works!

[@jasminevilliers8465]

Also can use a flat screw driver

[@ieaticeforfun]

lollll when my brothers and sisters aren't using the bathroom but like brushing their hair (or when they just lock me out) i use this all the time and i kinda thought everyone knew this?

[@graveyardmonarch1629]

A flathead screwdriver also works to unlock doors like that. And any c-port charger can also fit in that gap and turn that lock. You're welcome.

[@Nathan_Ellington]

As someone whose going to college next year I'm taking notes because these are so smart and useful.

[@panjic9944]

The coin lock also works with your fingernail

[@stephanierobertson3120]

I’ve done it before, it’s true

[@andreaaguilar9740]

The last one every strict parent kid knew. If u know u know

[@carolinatracy6270]

for the last one, whenever my siblings locked me out of their room or i wanted something from their room i would just pick the lock with my fingernails 😂

[@chloebenson7118]

For the courtesy locks, you may be able to use your fingernail too

[@HuskerWusker]

Yesssss that’s my families whole thing

[@lauraquinones1951]

Also a butter knife sometimes

[@chloebenson7118]

@@lauraquinones1951 Why is everyone mentioning butter knives? Lol

[@Did_I_ask._._.6970]

For the coin thing another option is a butter knife

[@brooklynnyoung9272]

It'll also work with any type of silverware. Me and my sister had one of these locks growing up and we didn't like each other so much and our parents made us share a room lol

[@betsfsnr1989rlfemttpdtv]

Additional things you may use to open those doors (experience, little brothers):
-Cutlery (spoons, forks, butterknives. Preferrably the flatter end on the opposite side you use)
-fingernails if they are long enough
-string if you wrap it around itself to make it more sturdy
-screwdrivers (flathead)
-lego pieces, bonus points for the weird orange piece they give you to take apart other legos
-your parents because they will snitch

[@illion5242]

It's called a chance an lock 😂

[@KivenuTheMoth]

“Use coins”
Me witch naturally built-in lock picks on my fingers(long, sturdy nails):
Baby I’m not even here, I’m a hallucination.

[@Harrypotterlover6]

I use my nails to unlock the lock or a butter knife

[@KenediPeterson]

literally the butter knife hack always comes in clutch

[@sleepypotato4046]

That last one works with scissors and even a lego. My brother locked himself out of his room many times. Just know that if you do it repeatedly the lock may start to bend.
