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
Deadbolts highly recommended on your doors 🚪 and bullets are a must
You got that right Dana
Shoot first ask questions later....
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
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 🙏
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
I was locked out my bedroom that has a key lock n no key. It worked for me! Thank you! I tried to pick the lock for a hour. Using Plastic took me 45 seconds lol.
Guess i can throw away my keys now and just have this plastic bottle universal key instead
Hahaha
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!

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.

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!!
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
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
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.
I've been struggling 4hrs I tried so much that i watch on RUclips even on google until i saw this video and it finally works. Thankyou
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
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 RUclips 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.
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!
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.
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.
How silly that card trick only works on the cheapest of locks! (Ones without a card blocking locking pin)
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?
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.
I appreciate how at the end you show us how to better protect ourselves.
I locked myself out and this helped me a lot. Thank you sir.
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 💚💚💚
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!!
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.
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 .
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...
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
The bad guys out there learn that too😫
Right!!! What's the point of this video...people are sick
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
Man you just saved me tonight, I locked myself outside but open my door in 2sec after watching this, useful stuff, thanks man
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.
stop bashing this guy this aint new aint a secret. i knew this as a kid 48 years ago.
Thank you for sharing, I am at work alone n locked myself. Just used this n it worked. Amen
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!
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!
Jesus! I've locked myself out of my bedroom and have tried the paperclips that didn't work. I tried to remove the handle and that didn't work either. This worked in seconds! I get to take the lock back I just bought from Walmart 13 minutes before they closed! Thank you for this video. I will now be placing pieces of plastic strategically around my house.
Im putting one in glove compartment

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.
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!
I worked at a corner store. People asked for the key to use the bathroom and some of them forget the key in the lock bathroom. Soo what I used is a sheet of laminated paper which will do the same as you have done in the video but you don't need to cut any plastic. The laminated sheet of paper is really good to unlock the door.
I use an old plastic card. Hotel card.
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?
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.
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!
I struggled for 20min. with tools and finally you gave me the answer. 1 try = success.
Thank you!
Welcome im glad it worked 👍🏻
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".
All the remarks about teaching criminals ~~ They probably already know this one .
At the 1:34 mark, I like the two camera views showing both sides of the closed and locked door with the PEPSI plastic bottle opening the door.
Thanks bro you saved me the locksmith fees to unlock my storage closet!
thanks going to homedepot right away to get extra security..
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.
Doesn't work with a dead bolt lock.
😆 yes it does work but it takes longer...

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
You can prevent this method of shimming a door from working by PROPERLY installing the strike plate on the doorjamb. Install the strike plate so when the door is shut tight, the dead lock plunger (the small tubular thing on the flat part of the plunger) is not allowed to fall into the plunger hole of the strike plate, with the plunger. The deadlock plunger remains pushed into the door (held by the strike plate when the door is shut) preventing the plunger from being able to be "shimmed". It is an easy adjustment to make and most builders don't even understand how to "properly" adjust a door strike plate. You can see how this works by just pushing the deadlock plunger (by itself) into the door and hold it there. Now try to push the plunger back into the door. It won't move. Let go of the deadlock plunger... now you can push the plunger in.
just what it comes down to
I'm so glad someone saved me from having to point this out, that was the first thing i thought when he started to jimmy the door open! I think he is just parroting something someone showed him, because if he was construction (doors, windows, and finishwork) or if he was a locksmith like myself he would have mentioned how to prevent the bypass attack.
Video does not show the latch. He could be using an interior door latch instead of the "dead latch" used with exterior door locks. Hokey BS
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.
Thanks!! After spending almost 2 hours past midnight trying to get our bedroom door open…i came across your video! Credit card trick did not work as our door did not have enough space for it.
Just tried this technique and it worked. Just had to get the feel of what I was doing. Thanks a bunch.
I use cards that not in used anymore. Always in my pocket! It works..
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.
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.
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.
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😉
Make sure you always carry scissors and a pop bottle in your pocket
Worked! Used a firm flat plastic cut out from a Costco Salad plastic lid...perfectly flat already and just had to trim edges. Placed pressure on the center of the lock wear door clicks while simultaneously sliding it down ...opened
I tried the bottle plastic. Worked exactly as shown! Thanks for the video. My 2nd resort was to break the door down
Thank you. I will have a new lock installed immediately
And if you don't have a can or plastic bottle just break the glass. That works on deadbolts too.
Locked myself out rushing and forgot to grab my key. This saved me from having to call a 24-Hr mobile locksmith and $100+ 🙏🏽
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.
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.
That trick has been around since those type door knob and lock setups were invented...the old credit card trick. The deadbolt lock that was shown in the beginning of the video caught my attention and that's why I watched it
VERY interesting!!! The plastic is a perfect combination of stiff and flexible to get past the round part of the latch and still be strong enough to push the latch back. Of course, burgurglars will know this trick so it also emphasizes why you should use the deadbolt!!!
“All I have to do is smash through ze glass, and we are in ze house”
This only works on residential locks. Commercials locks have latch guards. When they are depressed the latchbolt cannot be pushed in.
Yay!!!! After hours of being locked out of my bathroom and not wanting to break the door knob, I found this video..... Thx bro
I learned (no videos back then) on my own back in the 50's and 60's when my toddlers first learned to lock a door (bathroom or bedroom). Just had to be of sound mind to get it opened one way or another in the least of time. Couldn't wait - for toddlers don't understand that running water that starts out as cold can become very hot in a short time. Some timex common sense can be the answer if you're in the habit of figuring things out for yourself...
Thank you so much! My daughter locked us out of the bathroom and your trick worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh well... I have a deadbolt lock. Sorry, thieves!
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.

Best video of this kind. Will try it out this week because it’s always happening to me. Thanks a lot!
You just put hundreds or thousands of professional Locksmiths out of work.

Not hardly
Aaaaaand now we're all on a watchlist. Great.
Ted Nugent lol. 😬👍

IM SURE ROBBERS AND BURGLARS WILL LOVE YOU AFTER THIS VIDEO!!!😂😂😂
@Markus Oja Actually nothing. But what's the difference between Canada and the USA? The difference is Canada is actually a country full of peace where people from different religions, races and cultural backgrounds get along in peace and harmony. The USA is just a major franchise that will soon go out of business and into bankruptcy if the owner (Donald Trump) continues to run the business😇😇😇😇
@Markus Oja Here's the difference. In a robbery, a victim must be present and robbed of something valuable by way of intimidation, force, or threat. Burglaries, however, are often done without the victim present, like a home break-in during the day when nobody is home.
I just opened my door ..tried 2 hours last night with credit card and saw your vedio in the morning. The door opened save me so much money and time. Thankyou
Took me 30minutes haha. I tried to hammer the door lock but that didn’t work so I used my ID.
Thanks bro. You saved my life today lol.
If your door is adjusted correctly this won’t work. Pertaining to the end with the deadbolt. the bottom lock, that you slide the plastic on, to open it. That actually has a small pin along side it, that’s the safety. When the door is adjusted correctly the pin is pushed in like an 1/8” when it’s closed. This prevents the credit card trick or bottle trick from working. If you push it in the 1/8” and try to push the lock in it won’t move.
quarryfield I agree 100% Castle doctrine as it’s called in some states.
And they call themselves a civilised nation....
Thank you for that! Don't get me wrong ....my mom always said if they want to get in they will.☹Awesome video.
Thanks a lot. This saved my day. It really works!!
A really useful video when its a serious situation!!!!❤️❤️❤️
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....
THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE A BOLT LOCK ! NOT A KEY LOCK DOOR HANDLE LOL !
Thank you!!! Your trick helped us and has been by far the only method online that actually worked!
Anitha Jerr
You just saved my ass haha. Got locked out of my bedroom lol. Just used the plastic bottle. Legend
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!
I like how you show this with Kwikset 400p with a passage latch. Any lock with it installed and functioning deadlatch will not allow you to do this
You are a life saver, you just save my life this morning... Thank you 😘😘😘🤗
