Locks are only as good as their installation. When a lock is installed wrong, you can open locked doors in just seconds. We demonstrate how to open a door without a key in two ways. Then we tell you how to fix your locks so people won't be able to open your locked door.
If you need help implementing any of these things and are in the Phoenix AZ metro area, just contact us, we'd be glad to help. www.acmelocksmith.com

You are a life saver. I accidentally locked my room without keys and this worked without damaging the door. You saved my deposits to the landlord as well. Very grateful
Thats me 😂
Exactly that's what happening to me, I was at home all the keys inside my bag in the bedroom and accidently I locked the bedroom, I was locked out and panic but I opened the YT from my PC in the living room and found this footage and I tried and tried and to my BIG relief I managed to open the bedroom door, than you man for saving my life that night. 😂😅
@@sydkibweterer2719 so they are not correctly ibstall your doorknob
As a professional door installer. I can confirm this and i *ALWAYS* make sure the latching is as tight as possible. It's not only to hear the satisfaction of a tight fitting door close.

How did you get on youtube
Got locked out of my room at 3:00 am. I live with others and thought I’d wake them up using the card technique. It was actually super easy and quiet when done slow. I appreciate you so much for posting. Saved me hours and some sleep❤️!!
😂😂😂😂🙌
I got home from college and I literally forgot my house key and I was freaking out.. But my gut feeling told me to go look at youtube so you really help me out! I can’t stay outside too long with the heat!
You saved our lives because my little cousin was stuck but we tried to look it up and boom you saved our live everyone please like and subscribe to him because he just saved our lives.
Did he save your lives ?
Thank you you saved my life just now too!
I mean it wasn’t your life, it was your cousins. I don’t wanna sound negative though, So I’ll say good job
@@indekai3693 figure that out by yourself?
Thx
I opened our locked bedroom at midnight. Thank you so much for this video. You explained very well. It would have been very difficult during lockdown due to corona pandemic here in India to find someone to open the lock.
A tip- USE A THIN BUT STIFF SHEET OF PLASTIC.
I used a piece from empty fruits container. I found card to thick to pass through the gap. Hope someone else finds it useful in crisis.
Thank you Sir, my wife locked our bedroom door and texted me 3 times to get a locksmith! I got home and your video came up as first recommendation, tried with spectrum promotion card, unlocked in 1 min!
One of my child accidentally locked the bathroom door and I was struggling to open it. My oldest child searched it up on UA-cam and this video showed up and I used a card to open it in less than 20 seconds. What a blessing. Thanks for sharing ❤
Never in my life I came across such a life saving UA-cam video. My washroom door was locked and using the plastic hack I opened it in just 10 seconds. I was almost crying that I'll have to pay extra bucks. Much love.

@@kimii4705 I agree
The washroom privacy locks have a small hole in the knob into which you can stick a narrow stick such as a needle, a Bobby pin or the wire from wire hangars into to release the latch and indeed, the lock kit includes a tool for this which many builders just leave on the molding above the door. There really no reason to go such extremes to get through a privacy lock and as the video says, if the mount plate had been installed properly, the card trick wouldn't work. Now moving the plate often requires you to fill the drill holes with glue and sawdust or premanufactured wood filler so you can drill the holes in the proper locations. If mounted a bit too tight, you can file the plate, it's better to start off tight and file to fit but don't over file.
Thanks a lots.
Today one of my room got lock with key inside and I used your plastic technic and manage to open it.
You save lots of my time, money and arranged program.
Thank you so much! My mom locked her bedroom door and we didn't want to break the lock! You're a lifesaver!
this worked for you???? the plastic?? The plastic doesnt budge past the knob???

My 3 Year Old Locked The Bedroom Door. After Trying Other Attempts I Came Across This Video && a Price Chopper Card Did The Trick. Thank You ! && Thank You W.H
Awesome tips! I've tried the card one myself when a senior lady locked herself out of her home. I was not sure it would work but it did and I told her to get her lock fixed as she was very shocked I could get in without damaging her door. New subscriber here and looking forward to more tips. :D
Oml! Thank you so much.. I was just after showering when I heard my brother. I saw him struggling opening the door. We tried all our best but failed then I saw this video and followed your tactic! This works and thank you so so so much
Thank you Robert! Someone has been getting into my apartment for years without breaking down the door. Today I noticed something on the door. This really helped clarify that this is happening.
You didn’t think of installing a security camera? Someone broke into your apartment for years and you never thought to put up a security camera
Or they may use a metal shoehorn (or flat piece of metal) to slowly pry the door open, like what was done to me when I lived at 49 Trailsend Dr. Canton, CT, where I was victimized yet again ! Add everything that transpired there to the lawsuit !
@@jengable4888 Thank you.
Right!
@@dcwatashi or report it to management or call the police. This happened to me while I was sitting in the living room watching TV on a lunch break from work. Needless to say, I get comfortable when I go home to eat lunch and to keep from staining my clothing so I take some off and low and behold, there was no knock on the door, and suddenly my door opened and I grabbed a throw to cover up my underclothing and ask what the heck are you doing? It was one of the maintenance men who worked at the complex who then made up a story about getting a call to check the heating system or something to that nature and I lived alone. This happened another time when I had a roommate who worked a different shift than me which means she slept during the day while I was away and she woke up to a man entering the bedroom and scared The Living Daylights out of him because he did not expect anyone to be there. Again, a maintenance man who worked for the apartment complex. What either of these guys was going to be looking for or how many times this had been done when neither of us was there, I don't know.
You are a genius. We are Staying at a friend's beautiful apartment which they are given to us. We accidentally locked the bathroom door and were about to get a locksmith. You saved the day. Thanks a million
Thank you so much for such an amazing technique. I had been trying the other way firstly that made us fail to unlock and waste our time. Finally, I found this video and watched only until showing water bottle plastic card by you. Then I tried to adopt it and eventually our door was unlocked within a few minutes. Thanks again. 🙂🙂🙂
WOOOOW!! This worked like a charm!!!! So I left my room's window open and the wind must've shut my door close. It did open in no time using this trick
This actually worked! Thank you! I looked at various UA-cam videos on this topic and none of them worked. This video right here helped tremendously! Thank you!
Thank you, you saved the day.
Tip : you need hard plastic not flimsy layer and try to insert it exactly from the point where the lock is.
Thanks, My mom's door was locked and 2 of our pets were in there. My dad streams so I asked him for help and he decided to be rude as hell about it and didn't help me at all. Took me like an hour trying without help.
Took me 20 minutes lol
what did your dad say to you
I have school tomorrow and im locked out my room
Oh yikes that's really bad
Claudia Ornelas good then
Claudia Ornelas well I went through the window 😂😂😂😂
SaMe
Damn me too
Locked myself out. I never comment on anything. Trust me when I tell u it works so good 😂 I wanted to give this man a hug hahaha
I appreciate that. If it was your front door, watch to the end so you can fix the lock and no one else get into your house using this. 👍
I did it with plastic and it work.....thank you for the good idea..greeting from Belize🇧🇿
Was locked outside my house with everyone out of town so thank you! Just saved my life!!!
Awesome. Now be sure to watch the end of the video so you can fix the issue so no one else can get into your home this way. 👍
@@LocksmithRecommended watched all the way through, got inside, and then checked all the doors! Plan to get them fixed soon!
me too
I like that fact that this video is short and to the point. These type of videos need to be less than 5 min.
Thank you!!!!! I locked myself out of my bedroom and using your technique, was in my room with no problem!!!! Now to get a bolt installed rather than a doorknob lock.
Definitely a life saver. I was coming to my room just to realize I accidentally locked it when I was cleaning my doorknob, earlier.. I never tried this before and my jaw dropped when it worked 😂. Thank you
Thank you so much for this tip. I just followed the second one it helped me a lot as my months son was sleeping inside and the door was locked due to heavy air from out side . Thank you so much
The room was locked because the wind blew it and my siblings didn’t know what to do so I searched how to unlock the door and I found this video and it works Yaya ! Thanks for this video !!
Thanks for watching.
Thanks😂 im finally inside our house now. After 20mins of patience outside. Luckily i search and this help😂😂😂❤❤❤ i thought im gonna climb up to 3rd flr just to reach the open window
Can't believe this actually works. I got locked out with my credit card inside the room so I couldn't use the popular card technique. Came upon this and boom, opened it 30 sec. Thank you so much!
I just want to say a big thank you 🙏🏾. I was up and about to get ready for work when I turned the bathroom door and the horror. So this was at 6:00 so naturally I headed to UA-cam now at first I was a bit sceptical “ this is what they do in the movies,it’s not going to work” so I still persevered and bam I’m now a professional door unlocker. All thanks to your beautiful video. God bless you. 🙏🏾🙋🏽♀️ much love from Australia 🇦🇺
I had a brand new house built and the far quits installed the dead-locks *and* the normal pathetic doorknob/locks incorrectly. Three external door and all the locks (6 of them) were done wrong. One dead-lock was screw/torqued up so tight that the bolt would not slide when the key was used. Really annoying when the new building cost a little over $250,000 just over 27 years ago. I was also stunned when the windows arrived with plastic locks on them.
*Thank you* for this video. It taught me something that I didn't know so it is greatly appreciated.
Thanking you in 2023 😂 you just helped me back in my house 💐
I read the instructions, but they did not say why, so I've just always ignored them. Now that I know what the deadlocking plunger does, I'll pay closer attention to proper installation.
Thank you so much for this video.
THIS SAVED MY LIFE!! I accidentally locked my dog in my room and my keyed were in there. I used the plastic bottle trick and it worked perfectly!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
Wow. Man I just saw this video after my master bedroom got locked and with credit card, I am able to unlock the door. Thanks for this video man. You have just saved my night..
Excellent to know. I have a project now to correct that issue. It is amazing, I have observed this very thing for ages. Wow!
Many years ago, a little while after my family moved into a new (to us) house we found some fresh scrapes from where someone had tried to jimmy the back door open. It just had a latch. My parents called a locksmith who installed a deadbolt. No problems with that since then.
FWIW the front door already had a deadbolt built in.
Thank you so much! If your door is tight and it's hard to slid the card in use some pliers! I used a seventeen unofficial photocard that's made out of plastic.
Thank you for this. My step daughter was dog sitting for some folks who didn't leave her a key. I couldn't leave them without food and water. Life saver.
So everyone is thanking this guy for showing this tip about the dead locking plunger and how you can easily unlock the door. You should be fixing it so no crazy person/criminal will not be able to get into your home and hurt you!!!!!!!
Wow it actually worked! Thanks! I accidentally locked my mom’s bedroom door and we didn’t have a key for it. This literally save my life lol 😅
Thanks for this, lol. We had a family member get locked in a room today and everyone was panicking over it. I managed to get it open thanks to this video. 😂
That hanger trick just saved my life. Doing gods work, a million thanks.
Yay! The cut plastic bottle worked! Thank you! And thank you for teaching us how to make sure they are installed correctly.
You're welcome!
This helped alot I'm 14 and my little brother locked my mom's door and we didn't have the key since it was installed from the previous owners you helped me alot you have my thanks
Awesome I was locked out and tried your technique and I managed to open the door. Thank you. You saved me $40 bucks

You're welcome! We have a pack of five keys online for bathroom/bedroom doors if you need some. Thanks for watching! www.acmelocksmith.com/buy-safes-online/bathroom-bedroom-keys.html
My step-mom was stuck but after 15min if giggling it worked! She was happy too. Thanks!
Thank you so much! You just saved me an embarrassing call to the locksmith.
Glad I could help
Good informative vid. I already knew of these conditions with lockable door knobs and always check mine for proper functionality. It's amazing the number of people that don't know about this.
How does one repair it if it's not working properly? The thumbnail for this video suggested that the fix would be explained. But all I heard was 'make sure it's working.'
@@myoldvhstapes it looks like the only fix might be in the Double Deadbolt lock if that plunger can be pushed in. I would like to know how to push that in though and secure it. But then once that is done, we won't be able to let ourselves in but you're not likely to lock yourself out with a double deadbolt lock since you need the key for that.
You saved me today whew 😰 my son accidentally locked the door and didn’t want any drama with husband. 😊
Thank you so much! I followed the link from the 5-ways video and this worked like a charm!
My friend locked her door bed room, she called me for help, Watching this guide, we successfully unlocked it. Thank you for sharing your video
You're welcome.
Thank you so much!
God just answered my prayer through this video!
And I was able to open our door and not pay alot of money on a Sunday to get it fixed.I so excited 🤗Thank you so much for this video!!!
Awesome! Don't forget to fix your lock like we show in the end. Otherwise, anyone can get into your home using this technique.
@@LocksmithRecommended how do I fix the dead locking plunger?
I have someone entering my room with a card. How do I fix it please?
@@tammymacdonald11 if you want to make sure it's done right call a licensed locksmith. You're going to have to move the strike so that when the door is closed the plunger is pushed in.
@@LocksmithRecommended I can't believe how many comments are people thanking you because they were able to get in a locked door. Seems to me like they should be thanking you for teaching them how to fix it so nobody can get in any of their locked doors to their home. Hmmmm
Got to love UA-cam University!
The first minute of your video just made my daughter's day. She got locked out of her bedroom in our rental (no key). Apparently the landlord didn't know about the dead locking plunger!
TYSMMM I tried the card one and it worked now I can watch my iPad! You are a lifesaver!
Life saver , trying this at 1 am in canada❤. Really. Helpful, appreciate it
That was spectacular. I never knew why that bar was there or what it’s function was. How very enlightening!!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah but yours is installed wrong just like the one he demonstrated and anyone can get in if it's not dead bolted! Mine is the same way so I requested him to do a video on one that is installed "correctly"
Trying to unlock door from 2 Hours ( keys was inside the room ) but it didn't but after watching this in less than 5 min i unlocked the door ; really Thanks bro ❤️
This video saved me $250! Thank you so much
Wow. Thank you very much. I lock myself out. The first 40 seconds of this video helped me!
Glad it helped!
Also be aware of weather stripping on outside doors. Sometimes if you pull doors that have weather stripping you can get the little pin to pop out because weather stripping has give. Great if your worried about getting locked out but kind of defeats the point of the lock. Maybe if there is a harder stop near the lock you can mitigate it but I'm not a pro, just someone who played around with their door as a kid.
True
Can't thank you enough! I was literally locked out all night, you really saved my a$$.
Thank you 1000x 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Glad I could help. Watch til the end so you can see how to fix that so no one else can get into your home this way. 👍
nice and simple video, easy to understand and concept explained clearly. thank you!
You just saved me a 100 bucks! Thanks so much and I will figure out how to make sure I can't ever open them with a card again.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for a perfectly timed video. Yesterday I locked myself out - my keychain has a usb drive on it and I forgot that I used the drive and left it in my cpu. Got home, dug out an old walgreens card, and it totally worked!
U just saved me $120 almost called locksmith . Got interlocked our bedroom accidentally. I have used empty plastic bottle and passed through where the door knob is.
Thanks again.
Credit card really works!! Thank you. I locked my room door and searching key for 2 days , i can unlocked my door within 3 min after watched your video!! Thanks a lot
Great information about two features of door locks I never knew!
Thank you!
Just got home from my double fire shift. Guess what I was locked out but not anymore. Thank you
Nice video and great security steps - those were easy to understand. Thank you for sharing yours skills & trade!
My pleasure!
Not only did he teach people how to break into rooms and places he has also taught us how to prevent some degenerate from doing it to us!
Thank you. Very helpful. Didn't know what that plunger was for until now. Liked & Subscribed.
My mom locked in my little brother who's only 3 months old, I search here in UA-cam and found you. Thank you so much because my mom thought breaking the door was the option. Suddenly I got called a criminal now 😂
You reminded me of one other incident involving my great aunt who had dementia who locked her bedroom door and then did not respond to a knock or anything. We were going to let it go until she came out but then it occurred to her that she might have been sick so biggie me, a woman, decided I could do what I had seen on TV and that was to kick the door in. Nearly broke my leg. Then I call the police for help and they suggested the fire department and sent the fire department who came without credit cards and took the whole frame from around the door to remove the door but they did put it back up leaving a little bit of damage. She was Dazed and was not even aware that we were there but did not need any medical care. Wonder why fireman were not taught the credit card trick. Wish I had known that then, we would have gotten in a lot more quickly. We eventually just change the door knob to one that does not lock since it was an interior door so she could not lock it at all. We think that she thought it was the front door to her house.
@@sable7114 I hope your leg is alright- as for your aunt, I hope she doesn't lock herself in another room again since that incident.
@@T_xicc thank you so much. It is all right now but you just reminded me of what caused the pain that I was having in my thigh joint several months after that. I assumed it was because I used to dance and that was my turn leg. The doctor said to not wear cute shoes to work and that I should wear walking shoes or running shoes since I walk a lot at work. Well, that did the trick! My great aunt never did that again but she has since passed away! Thank you for your concern!😊
@@sable7114 I have heard that sometimes a person who needs to be 'detained' in their room for safety-medical reasons (Dementia wandering, sleepwalking, toddler) so maybe the doorknobs can be reversed so the lock is on the outside for their safety. Some caregivers will not wake up in the early hours to prevent someone roaming around the house unsafely. I'd be sure to have a monitor in the room with them though.
@@islandgal500 that is a good idea but I have one that's probably a lot less time consuming and costly since handyman never show up when they say they will. My mother also developed a type of dementia after a severe illness that cause lack of oxygen to her brain more than once and what I did was put actually impression mix into the opening of the door where the bolt lock would go into that hole and because that never engaged, she could lock the door if she wanted to which she loved to do whenever she went into the bathroom but the two would never engage and all I had to do was Push the door to open it. Since most people don't have impression mix, I guess you could probably use Clear caulking or something of that nature and I used clear because she could not tell that there was something in that opening.
I’m locked from my room cause I forgot my key inside. 😂😂
same
Im locked from my HOUSE
that’s the same for me and now i’m panicking 😂😫
Same
I’m panicking. Does this actually work
God bless u. Thank u so much. This freaking work in under 5 second. I've tried other method for hours but failed. Came across your video to unlock using a card and it worked!
The most helpful video made on UA-cam. Thank you so much!!!
I've always thought the dead lock plunger is a bad design. Doors shift and sag and striker plates wear pretty quickly, and the plunger requires a tight tolerance to function correctly. That's the reason they often don't work correctly. There are other designs that are less common but much more reliable.
I locked the bathroom door and my sister and I were rushing before my dad got home 😂 thank you so much
You're welcome. Check out our other video on unlocking bathroom doors and how to make a key.

The last three times I locked myself out of my Home Office, I had to have my daughter crawl through the window and then I watched this video and got in there in about 7 seconds with that empty water bottle. So God bless you, Sir. You have a life long fan.
Thank you!! Card trick does work, its just finagling the corner in, then shifting the rest of the card into it once you 'feel' it
For those that indicated a locked interior door, the only ones in my house that lock are the bathroom, and a nail pushed into the hole unlocks it. My house was built in the 60's. Now I have to find information on adjusting the striker plate. The deadbolt fix was pretty easy with a drill.
Hey did you find any good tips on adjusting that striker plate? I'm still searching!
I noticed that my door had a larger gap at the bottom right than the top, causing the latch to go in at an angle, plus barely catching the striker plate. I loosened all three hinges, into the frame, put a spacer at the bottom hinge, between the hinge and frame, then snugged all of them down. It pushed the bottom of the door over enough that the latch was a different angle, and the door spacing was more even. I was amazed how small a spacer it took, it only needed to be at one hinge, and, how even the spacing became.

I was thankful the man that put my lock in for it wrong!! I locks myself out TWICE and used the card technique! Not so happy about thieves using it though!🥺 Time to fix it
Thank you
Thank god man, I found ur video it took me 5 min to open the door. love from Germany 🙌u saved me today I got out on my biggest Diwali Festival, you literally saved my celebration day🎉
You saved my life. I had to go out and I locked my door so that my parents don't find out and when I got back I realized that I had no keys for my door and I started freaking out. After watching this video and doing what you said I opened the door and now I don't have to worry about my parents finding out that I snuck out. Thank you very much!
