There is no "wrong" side for the spatula. You just change directions you slide the spatula from bottom => top to top => bottom and "magically" the rounded part works as intended.
I think bill forgot his coffee this morning
Same thoughts too
Saved me the trouble, was just coming to say "Umm, come down from the top on right-side doors?"
@Achim Exactly. I think Bill forgot you can slide DOWN a right hand door and the latch doesn't care.
He may have been thinking it is much harder to put pressure on the top of the door to get the space for inserting the tool, but I was also thinking of inverting the tool and coming down from the top.
TFG stands for "Türfallengleiter " in english "Door Latch Slider"
Totally f-n good?
Okay, who's up for a 15 minute "Bosnianbill Cat Blooper Reel?" There's got to be enough footage, please make it happen.
That was twice the Guard Cat made an appearance in this video. First door you had that lovely artwork of him watching over Bill. The second time, he just bum rushed him. I think we know where the Guard Cat is hiding his catnip.
For the spatulas on a right-hand open door, if you feed them from the top the taper should work as designed.
Edit: I see now this comment was already made & addressed. Thanks.
Exactly....i use aluminum window shades. And you have to use it from the top pushing down no handle but tape it... Im a zzz Landlord/Superintendent...need to do everything. Ty for the vid
Locksmith here. The larger set is my go-to for all house lockout calls. Unless the deadbolt is locked too, these work in seconds about 80% of the time - faster than I could pick. One warning, the edges are so sharp on these that it's easy for fingers to get small cuts while wiggling them around in tight door frames.
What if the deadlatch is engaged?
@@thelockpickinglebowski633 Like I said, 80% success rate. Although, in my experience, most deadlatch installations are incorrect to begin with. And many that are correct can be disabled by pulling the door closed sharply enough to allow the deadlatch to slide into the hole in the strike plate. I use these shim plates first because they are absolutely the quickest way to get through most KIKs - even the harder to pick like SmartLocks. It really is as fast at Bill shows - 5 to10 seconds and you're in. People gawp in disbelief that their door locks are really that easy to get through. If the door is just too tight, Lishi is next or several other bypass tools in by bag (bump keys, snap guns, etc). And picking too.
Also useful for getting cookies off the cookie sheet ;-)
Hey... If it is a right-hand door, just slide the spatula down from the top. ;-D
That is exactly what I was thinking too.
This. Promise to buck up Bill.
How do you get your foot to the top if the door though?
I tried to do a headstand but then couldn't use my hands yo reach that high because I needed them to stop all the change from falling out of my pockets.
I agree. As long as you can get the spatula in, should be able to start from the top
@@sumduma55 just lean on door with hand smh
I was waiting to hear "Bill, I'm in here!!"
I was wondering about your cat. It’s been a while since I saw the telltale cat fur in one of your locks.
I like it when Bill's cat photo bombs his videos. lol
I literally spend hours watching this channel recently, and started ordering lockpicking sets and other stuff. What have you done to me?
"BILL, Bill!"
"Yes dear."
"What have you been doing?"
"Nothing dear."
"Then why are there all these scratches on the door jams?"
"Got you some new spatulas dear"
When I have to let a customer back in on these easy low security doors, I often use something called the firefighter swipe tool, shove knife, or even just an old ID in a pinch. Same concept. These do look cool though. They do have something similar called the Zak Tool Gate Pass. I haven't had to much luck with those though.This set looks like it would work great on doors with no/improperly set antiloiding pin, doors with an exterior trim piece and no straight on access to the latch, or doors with a stronger spring that other methods would be difficult with. That being said, if shimming is not an option, there are lots of other non destructive ways to gain entry as well. The more skills, knowledge, and tools you have available, the more happy customers you have. For the door you showed, something called an under the door tool with the long rod and wire would also likely work as well.
Not to bad of an idea, I agree going with the bigger ones! Stay safe and enjoy our home confinement! I know the cat don't mind! LOL
My go to for this kind of this is variable thickness sheets of Mylar that I can cut to suit - or even plastic milk bottles. This way paint isn't scraped off... work very well for half roller and common front door yale locks too...
TFG stands for TürFallenGleiter
Door trap glider
Careful Bill, or the Mrs. will have you on door jamb touch up duty! Thanks for the video as always sir!
Most one way doors I've seen have a metal plate covering the latch area.
They open to the outside or pull to you when the plate is there. The stricker curve would be facing the opposite direction to use these.
I've used guitar strings to open them if they are regular latches. I guess any flexible but somewhat still stiff wire small enough to fit in the crack of the jam would work. You need to put a bend in the wire once inserted and feed from the top. Once past the plate on the bottom, work the bend to bring it out where you can reach it. Then tension to the plate as you wiggle it a bit. I use pliers or sometimes chopsticks to get leverage and stop the wore from digging into your skin. Pull hard and toward the plate because when the wire passes by the latch, you want the plate on the door to open the door enough that it is past the latch hole and you can stop it from relatching.
The door locking behind you thing made me remember something that happened to many probably 20 or so years ago at the First Interstate Bank Plaza in downtown Houston. It's a 71-story building and the elevators are such that there are express elevators to major floors where there are "sky lobbies" (34/35th and 58/59th floors) and then local elevators from those major floor to the intermediate floors. This was the first time I had ever been in that building (other than the ground floor) and I need to go to a office that was fairly high up. So, I took the express elevator up to the 58/59th floor lobby and since I was only a couple of floors away from where I needed to go, I figured that I would just take the stairs down to my destination instead of waiting on the intermediate floors elevator. BIG MISTAKE... Turns out that the doors automatically lock after you when you go into the stairway and the only way to get out of the stairway is to walk ALL THE WAY DOWN to the ground floor...
Well designed tools. Watch out, Mrs BB would be upset if you scratched the paintwork
she'd be much more upset if these were kept in the garage and the kids used em on mommy/daddys bedroom door.
A few comments / explanations from the home country of multipick.
German (and I guess most european) apartment or front doors do have both, a latch and a bolt. The latch only has a handle from the inside, to open it, if the door is not fully locked. But there is usually no handle on the outside (exceptions exist of course).
The bolt/lock is usable from both sides and also actuates the latch, so you actually can get in from the outside using the key, if that makes sense. Basically you turn the key (twice) to retract the bolt and then rotate another quarter rotation to pull back the latch.
Contrary to fire escape doors, you (most often) cannot open the door only with the handle from the inside, if it is locked. You must first unlock it with the key (or knob) and then either use the key or the handle to operate the latch.
So a rather common occurence here is that somebody forgot their keys inside and just closes the door from the outside, not beeing able to get back in. This is where locksmiths (or lock pickers) with these tools can, in a matter of seconds, open the door with (nearly) no damage to the door or lock.
TFG means Türfallengleiter, which translates to door latch glider. There's also a kind of wire version of this called Türfallennadel (door latch needle/wire) which is much easier to carry around with, but a bit more difficult to operate.
Last week the door shut behind me and I really panicked for a moment, luckily had the window open. I will surely take a good look at my door, hopefully one of these tools fit. Will get one of these tools, test it, then just hide it outside somewhere in the garbage box or whatever. I hate doors that don't have the opening handle on the outside, that's not what keeps thieves out...
Brilijantno kao i uvek! do sledećeg klipa "pozdrav!
Audio is perfect! Sorry, I didn't get back to you before.
Remarkably nice paintwork in your home Bill.
Great video as always Bill
Unrelated but just wanted to say thanks. Locksport went from a fun hobby to a practical life skill today. I just bought an old junker motorcycle Im working on rebuilding but it didnt come with keys, I was able to pick both the Gas cap lock and ignition. Thank you for all youve taught me.
Nice bit of kit, could see this being very useful in certain situations. Thanks
Thx for the Video, I suspect, as with most shims, these won't work when a dead latch is in play. (PS I love the Cat sliding through. You should do a blooper reel)
i came to the comments for this
I had a single tool many years ago that was stepped for different sized doors. Also had one that was notched with a reverse angle for the opposite side of door.
Easy way to help prevent this sort of tool is to drive some screws into the frame portion and/or on the door so they protrude enough to snag the spatula tool but still allowing the door to close
Easy to make with any old HDPE plastic bottle. You can even cut it so you have a handle. Doesn't scratch the door frame either. Also use pressure on the 'door' to ease the pressure on a tight latch. Will easily fit in behind any protective plates too.
I have these from Wendt and the door latch needles they work really good.
That would be a great quick try entry tool for the Fire Dept vs. busting down with brute force
cat photo bomb
" in lockdown " 😂
that's a good one Bill 🤠
great reviews and upload your doing...
I was confused for a min about why there were gardening tools in my feed.
If you came down from the top of the door on the spatula that should solve the opposite side hinges.
Ive been working all along...if you do access control your essential and can still do locksmithing
I work for a fire dept in NJ. I wonder if they would be interested in this to keep on a rig for non destructive entry. (the y have the halligan tool if there is a rush, but that destroys the door and frame.)
Cool. I will buy these and learn how to use them until Sparrows get some more of those disc detainer picks in.
Cool Video / Good video !
i could almost make one of those on the Fly with some sheet metal off my truck in a pinch.
The sliders are commonly used with a gentle pumping action against them and the door right below the latch.
I use a really flexible combe or a piece of aluminum window shade..
Spatula comes down from the top for right hand doors
In many European countries, especially here in Germany, these doors are common. In most cases where people need a locksmith, it's the typical scenario that they have their keys inside the apartment, and the door closes. That's why I always try to teach people how to open it themselves because most of the locksmith companies here try to rip people off. They drill the whole lock open and try to sell an overpriced lock rather than using such a simple tool to open the door without damage within seconds. A very simple thing that works most of the time is a piece of a thick pet bottle (like the coke bottles) cut to the size of a hand. It's easy and quick to get (even at night) and works usually pretty well.
Use the spatula from the top down for right hand
This is why a mag lock would be better for a fire door. The magnet tied to a motion and thermal sensor would ensure security for that door.
Maglocks are bad. In a fire smoke and heat can obscure the IR sensor, and if the sensor fails you have people crashing into the door. Finally, if it's the only latching mechanism it fails open. A good deadlatch is much better. If doing access control, consider an electrified strike.
Miss your informative advice videos
Now you get to repaint your door and frame after scraping the paint off. Bet the missus loved that. 😜
If you were using the spatulas on a right-hand door, could you work from the top down instead of the bottom up?
5:20... While I agree with your choice of which you like better, as to the use on the one you like less if the lock is on the opposite side couldn't you use it the exact same but instead of starting from the bottom up start from the top down so the blade is at the right angle? I mean the bottom up on the left side would be the exact same as the top down on the right side with the only difference being a little bit harder to push the top to make room for it to slide in since you can't use your foot.
wow pretty cool tool there bill thanks for sharing
You could always start at the top of the door and come down on the right side with the spatulas
Love the videos, very helpful and informative. Plus I think You need to show more bloopers...lol
Nice tool set, interesting function too. BTW, good to see the cat ruining your shot, that's the back to normal stuff we need to see :)
two things
1. on a right hand side come down to latch rather than up with the spatula type
2. On real doors they tend to have a tighter fit thus don't slide up/down so easily hence the handle on the spatula type allow more force to maneuvere into place
Such a good boy. Stay inside. Do what they told you.
Old credit card works great and is free!
That´s some pretty clean shoes,Bill. I was bit worried about an upcoming fight with Mrs. BosnianBill over shoetraces on the door.
Cool !
Oh look! Baldwin Wave levers from before Kwikset jacked up the company. Fitted by heathens but fine quality door hardware. We made "shove" tools similar to these in smith school before commercial availability looong ago.
What about on the spatulas start from the top of the door?? If you could shim the door a bit to get it in.
TFG - Türfallengleiter - Door latch slider?
I find as a locksmith theres few times these tools woule be handy and my PET juice carton was a much cheaper yet just ad effective tool.
Keep in mind these will not work on properly installed Dead Latch which most entry doors should come with. A Dead Latch has a pin that runs alongside latch, it gets activated when door is closed and locks the latch in place. Properly installed Dead Latch will not budge and will only retract through handle.
Or for right hand swing you have to go from the top down maybe
Super vid
Aye yo good lookin out bro. This summer gon be fun as shit
Handy!
For all those people commenting about just using the spatula from the top of the door downwards for opposite opening doors: yeah, but it's kinda awkward getting your foot at the top of the door. I don't think there's that many locksmiths that are also gymnasts in thier spare time!
Rocking the MOAB 2s there Bill? Approve.
If the latch is on the opposite side of the door just use the tool from the top instead of the bottom. Then you'll be able to use the slope of the tool to open the latch instead of trying to jiggle it open.
Wouldn't the spatula work for the door opening either way? Just would be the difference of sliding it from the top or the bottom to open the lock?
It would, on a loose fitting door. It the door was installed well though, you'd probably have difficulty pushing the top of the door in enough to insert the tool without damaging the paint.
@@bosnianbill I was about to make the same comment as Josh B, but realized he beat me to it. As for inserting the tool at the top of the door, you might want to use a short prying tool to get some space. You could use something like a credit card between the prying tool in the door to avoid damaging the paint or finish on the door. That might still leave a mark in the finish inside the doorjamb but in a spot that would be much less conspicuous.
Couldn’t you use the spatula from the top down on right handed locks?
idk how many times little ones would manage to lock the one way bathroom door ofc butter knifes get them open but god one of those would be useful in those situations. o..o
hi, would be great if you could do a video on installation of these type of door locks and the best tools used.
Great review Bill well done keep up the great work/vids. :)
So just wiggle the spatula downwards insted of upwards on the opposite side of the door
Nice
Craftsman!!
I had the exact same thought as timbober1.
Bill's in trouble.
Couldn't you just work from the top down for right-hand doors?
Yes, I mentioned this in another comment. The tool DOES work from the top but if the door is fitted tightly it is difficult to apply enough pressure high enough (without standing on a bucket or stepstool) to insert the tool without damaging the door and paint. Mrs. Bosnianbill issued a SERIOUS warning about this before I started...😋
@@bosnianbill what is she going to do, lock you out of the house? 🤣🤣🤣
😂
@@RustyorBroken, she could force Bill to convert the LockLab into her own custom She-Shed! 😄 Happy wife, happy life. Unhappy wife...stone cold, outdoor lock picking misery!
I may be suffering from cabin dementia, but for the life of me I can't think of a fire door this would help on.
I'm a locksmith/safety tech at a hospital, and all of our crash bar fire doors open out. I'm sure I'm missing something here though.
Funny enough I have used a decorators multi edge scraper to pop fire doors for legitimate business operators before and soon as they've seen me do it they've had me work on the weakness and signed up for key holding services with various companies
Looking into purchasing new locks for perimeter doors. What lock do you have/recommend for your front door?
What thickness are the door stops..the ones I have are 20 mm and the spatula does not slide as easy as the one you demonstrated on
Can’t you use the spatula on a right side latch above the latch and pull down?
Seems like such a obvious idea but never patented until now,a good walk paper scraper would probably make a good one of these ...
Don't all fire doors open to the outside, so how would you put your foot to push the door.
TFG=“They’re fv#%ing great”
Would'nt a credit card or a piece of tin be a much cheaper alternative? And any spatula for 1$ could be shaped to work.
Can't come in from the top with the spatula when it's on the opposite side ?
Cool vid thanks for the reviews. Kenneth Johnson
Cool stuff. Couldn’t you just slide the spatula type tool downward instead of up getting the same result. On the opposite swinging in doors
More stuff I have to have, that I'll probably never use.
I was working at a guy's house who left and locked the door while I was getting tools form the tuck. I just pulled out a credit card and popped the lock. So I could finish the job. Felt like creap doing it but I was authorized to be in his home. So it was no big deal.
Still, this kind of attack works on a lot of home locks without a deadbolt so don't trust just the handle lock.
Ack, I was just looking at all of these category options... o_o - Trying to decide if it was worth upgrading from my plastic-y type shim sheets. Maybe? I haven't decided. Well anyways, it's always spooky when Bill reviews another thing I was ~just looking at~ yet again. Spooky I say!! Haha, nice "home review" anyways. Stay safe!
Given that these are made of metal and could scratch the door and/or frame, I think that mica shims are better.
As a hobbyist I tend to think the same. I believe they would have a place in a professional's kit, though - I somehow doubt they're going to break anytime soon!
Do they come with touch up paint
So Bill, what do you have if the door opens to the direction you are standing on? Towards you in other words? Thanks for the Uploads!
