Imagine, someone just broke into your house , you rush in your room and locked the door and all you hear is this video playing in the background what is you doing ?
Thank you Pat, it honestly helped. Additional info: - The card might bend a lot more, make sure it feeds through - Once the card is "inplace" as the video shows, try and see if the door has any play. - Ours had a vertical (up and down) play so started lifting the door and then letting it go down
SIR!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I was skeptical but this really freaking works! I was locked out of my bedroom and I called emergency locksmiths and they wanted almost $200 - no go, buckaroo. I appreciate that you explained the WHY of this- how the mechanism works and WHY using a card legit works. I almost cried when my door opened! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for making this!! My sister locked all the Christmas presents in the spare bedroom accidentally and we able to open the door within minutes with your video! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
This worked! Thank you! Accidentally locked our bathroom door and we were about to call a locksmith at 1 in the morning. My husband pulled & wiggled the door while I pushed the card in. Success!
Your technique only works if the door is out of alignment or the strike plate is installed incorrectly. If installed correctly the deadlatch is engaged/depressed when the door is closed and the latch will not retract with your “card” or by any method like that. If your door opens with a “card” you need to call a professional and have it adjusted correctly.
yes this problem with me , i locked outside of bathroom and our door dont have even space for air, it not allow card to go inside. it only possible if door have space to push back
If you painted the door various times without removing the previous paint, the door and frame are tighter and also would make the card trick just jam into the previous paint and get stuck.
So thankful for this video we got locked out and apartment building refused to help us and it’s the weekend! All the locksmiths couldn’t do anything without written permission by the manager and we weren’t allowed to talk with them! Watched this for in first try! Life SAVER!
THANK YOU!!!! I TRIED EVERYTHING, AND YOUR CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS SAVED ME, I WATCHED SEVERAL VIDEOS AND THIS WAS THE ONE!!! I CAN FINALLY ACCESS MY BATHROOM❤❤❤.
Thank you so much, me and my sister were locked out and panicked. We watched a couple videos before this but none of them worked, until you. You're a lifesaver 😭😭😭
Thank you very much. My friend usually get up to use the comfort room many times in the night. She found that the cr was locked and we cant find the key. You saved me from escorting her down to get passed the dog 🐕 resting at the landing.❤❤❤
My bf locked himself out of the house trying to bring the cat in before a big storm and got caught in the rain. No idea where the spare key was, had to leave work to rescue him but the real hero here was your video. Thanks so much!! Would not have been able to do it otherwise.
thank you so much! we were about to call a lock smith after my brother locked us out of our bathroom and this was literally the only tutorial after hours of fiddling with the door that actually worked. you sir are a saint.
This was so helpful … I tried for hours to get a kwikset hall/ bathroom door open … hinges were on inside and the little tool to stick in hole also did not work… the card work in 3 seconds… I could not believe it . Thank you so much
I tried this and oh my god it worked .... I got locked out of my bedroom. Didn't have any of my cards on me. Luckily I had plastic playing cards and it worked. thank you so much Pat for this video, saved my ass today.
Omg you're an angel! Thank you so much! I Locked my garage door for the first time and apparently the key doesn't work😒 You saved me, I was about to smash the knob with a golf club 😂
I am super grateful for this video 😭😭. I locked myself out of my room and used this technique to open the door just now. Note- it is presently 12:32 am
It worked! We tried for 1 1/2 hours. The trick was to use a metro card because it’s thinner than a credit card so it gets in easier and it’s laminated so it won’t bend like a paper card does. I tried a credit card, plastic gift card, paper card. None worked. Only the metro card and you HAVE to hold the door closed (pull) while you do it or else it doesn’t work. Great video~ saved us $$$$.
Thank you, wow I was going to give up and break the wood. I saw your video and something about when you said to pull the door close against the credit card my bathroom door just opened. I kept praying I know God led me to your channel because no other video had details like you did. Thank you again. 🙏❤️
Usually bathroom ( and most bedroom doors with locks) have a simple " defeat" for situations like that. Some will have a horizontal or vertical slot that looks decorative, which you can turn a quarter turn with a kitchen knife or screwdriver. Most though have a small hole in the centre of the knob. You can push in a stiff pin like a very thin screwdriver, or maybe even a bent Bobby pin. Best though, is a WIRE coat hanger, the curved top part of which has been bent more or less straight. Push the straightened part straight in, gently, and turn the knob. If it doesn't work at first, slightly reorient the hanger or make certain the straightened part is really straight. It is all much easier than it sounds. And less dramatic than breaking the door trim wood.
Thank you so much dude I just got stuck in the toilet 10 minutes ago with my dog and I didn’t have any card so I used my toothpaste instead and it worked 😭😭❤️
Worked, took like half an hour, but I wasn’t willing give up cause like.. my bathroom locked itself inside with the key and I was outside, really appreciate it!
OHHH MYY GOOOODDDD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH, I WAS ABOUT TO CRY WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED THE DOOR OF MY SISTERS ROOM, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO 'TILL I SAW THIS 😭😭😭
Great tutorial. However, I should note, considering that it's thinner and has a natural curve to it, a strip of plastic cut widthwise from a soda bottle works far better than a card.
This saved me, I've watch a lot of tutorials and it wont work.. . The only thing that I missed is while trying to put the card In , you need to push and pull the door itself at the same time.
This only works if the latch is installed incorrectly, or if you are unlocking an interior door BTW. If this works then you want to reinstall your strike plate so that the small plunger next the the flat part of the latch does not fall into the recess of the strike plate.
It won't work if the second latch or the smallest latch is push-in, you can try it by opening the door and by pushing first the smallest latch then push the biggest latch, you can see that it won't retract all the way in
Imagine, someone just broke into your house , you rush in your room and locked the door and all you hear is this video playing in the background what is you doing ?
Lol
This really works!! I’m so happy! Ty
😂
what do? The door is replaceable >:3 he however is not
😂😂😂😂😂.
Thank you Pat, it honestly helped.

@@normabarros3124my door couldn't pull any closer the key was to get the card in once it was in I just had to use force to really jimmy it open

This was the game changer!

Best video I’ve seen with this method, simply because you show and explain what’s happening while you’re doing this.
I got locked out of my bedroom and had to watch like 50 videos till I got to this one. This is the only one that helped . THANK YOU
I’m so grateful for this video! Nothing else worked. The door popped open after literally 2 seconds!

Why you don’t have a key?

Thank you so much! got locked out of my bedroom and this video is a life saver! I use several poker cards and they work too!
This is the most helpful video I’ve seen! Absolutely worked to get into my locked garage. A-1!

I can’t believe that it worked. Thank you so much for the video and info, it helped to save my friend from a possible asthmatic attack
I am grateful for this video.If it wasn't for it I would be locked out of my bedroom up until this moment.Thank you very much.
I tried this and oh my god it worked .... I got locked out of my bedroom. Didn't have any of my cards on me. Luckily I had plastic playing cards and it worked. thank you so much Pat for this video, saved my ass today.

I have locked my self out like 5 times and I always come to this video and I always get the door open. Thanks so much for this video
This happened to me few years ago. The locksmith used a plastic card the size of a debit card and opened it for me. Expensive learning experience!!
Thanks !! Best video ever for picking a lock, saved me some $$

Brilliant explanation! thank you so much, we have a locked door and can't find the key - this way we can get in to take the ock off and fit a new one.
Thank you, wow I was going to give up and break the wood. I saw your video and something about when you said to pull the door close against the credit card my bathroom door just opened. I kept praying I know God led me to your channel because no other video had details like you did. Thank you again. 🙏❤️

@@derekmadge you are a blessing thank you
@@derekmadge you are right i manage to use this trick but my door has slight damge because of the card that i used
Exactly! A well executed video.
Just watched this and it helped me. Thank you
Thank you so much dude I just got stuck in the toilet 10 minutes ago with my dog and I didn’t have any card so I used my toothpaste instead and it worked 😭😭❤️
Thank you! The pulling the door towards you is the trick!
Thank you bro! You saved $150 for me.
forgot my key and couldn't get in when I got home from school, took me maybe 30s to a minute and I'm in. Much appreciated and very well explained
Worked, took like half an hour, but I wasn’t willing give up cause like.. my bathroom locked itself inside with the key and I was outside, really appreciate it!
OHHH MYY GOOOODDDD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH, I WAS ABOUT TO CRY WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED THE DOOR OF MY SISTERS ROOM, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO 'TILL I SAW THIS 😭😭😭
Thanks man ,, really appreciated ! you are a life saver 🎉
Thank you so very much! Man you are a life saver i freaking love you tube!!!!
Yayyyyy! It works! Worked the first time!!
Why is there a visegrip/clamp on the keyless side of the doorknob’s lock that has the keyless?
Thank you bro was locked out in the garage dad locked the door out of habit before he went out lol took me like 2 minutes very clear instructions
Thank you so much for this! Literally got locked out tonight and it worked!
Great tutorial. However, I should note, considering that it's thinner and has a natural curve to it, a strip of plastic cut widthwise from a soda bottle works far better than a card.
NAHHH THIS IS LEGIT, I tried once and failed from another video then came to this one and it explained it so
much better and I GOT IN
Bro me and my friend got locked out of my house and this video came in clutch. Can’t thank you enough man. Much love❤
Why it doesn't work for meee?..
I pulled the door but it is too tight...and the card doesn't seem like going inside ...
Exactly my issue
Thanks! This worked on a seized latch after the "j hook" method failed... ;) Saved me a call to a locksmith. well done.
Thank you so much for this well executed video, it really worked!🙏🏻
What if you have turned the interior button to lock it? Can you still open with a card?
Yes it will still work
Would that trick work for the top lock in your video? Because that's the type of lock that I have as to why I am asking.
Wouldnt the dead latch prevent that from working?
Thx man really I appreciate it I accidentally locked my only bathroom in the house and this helped unlock the door! 😊
Thank you so much God bless you🙏🏼
Thankkk youuu so muchhh!! This was the most legit video ever😊😊
Today morning our bedroom door got jammed. My daughter tried this trick and our door opened so quickly. Thank you so much.
Why i cant???
it works, it saved all of my friends. thank you a lot
worked really well!!! my hand was kinda sore afterwards but no biggiee!!! it was quicker then i thought it would be!
It works! The locksmith charged me $120.00 paid for it with my debit card! Thabks!
Thanks man ! Locked myself out the bathroom, 100 percent worked
Very helpful video thank you for sharing it.
This was literally very helpful thankyou so much ☺️
This really saved me a lot😊
I have literally broken 3 doors before i saw this video 😩
This saved me, I've watch a lot of tutorials and it wont work.. . The only thing that I missed is while trying to put the card In , you need to push and pull the door itself at the same time.
Just tried, it works🎉. Thank you so much. You save my day 🙏
This is an amazing video, just locked my brothers door from the inside on accident and this worked perfectly.
I am so grateful that you made this video. It helped us tremendously.
This helped me just now. Thanks for the video.
Quick tip: Please carry a debt card or credit card where ever you go 😄👌🏻
Btw. It’s a nice information. Thank you for sharing 😊

You're the fucking best. Just locked myself out and this worked beautifully. You made my day. Absolute g

Just tried it and it worked. Each door is built differently but the concept works
God bless man this worked like a charm ❤
Thank you , worked like a charm
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU 😍
I can’t believe it worked. Thanks mate.
Than you very much,it was not easy but the door open 😂 after 2 hours out side 😅😅 thanks...
I can’t thank you enough for that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This only works if the latch is installed incorrectly, or if you are unlocking an interior door BTW. If this works then you want to reinstall your strike plate so that the small plunger next the the flat part of the latch does not fall into the recess of the strike plate.
It won't work if the second latch or the smallest latch is push-in, you can try it by opening the door and by pushing first the smallest latch then push the biggest latch, you can see that it won't retract all the way in
How do you unlock it from the other way around. Bc I can’t slide the card in that way
It worked for me.. 😀 Thanks for the tip.. 🙏
Followed 10 guides on youtube, none of them worked, but I tried your suggestion of pulling the door closed, and it worked! Great video!
All I got to say is thank you. I locked my self out and with this video I opened the door.
Thank u sooo much...this helped me to open my door.🤗
I follow step by step thank you so much ..
Thank you mate. Other video is checked overcomplicated things but this worked 🙏
Life saver❤❤ thank you.
