    My husband locked himself out of his office, where he keeps all his clothes. Our handyman isn’t coming for three days. Not wanting to pay a locksmith, I turned to RUclips and found you! I used the eyeglass screwdriver, and bingo the door opened! Thank you! 🎉

    I can’t thank you enough. I grabbed and opened a bic pen but didn’t work like the old days. Was close to breaking the dam door down and thinking I’m gonna have to pay a lot of money for the frame and a new door. As soon as I saw your video you held the key up. I was like I have those mini flat head and Philips tools. Found it and unlocked the RR door. I appreciate your knowledge. It saves me money and got the door opened without damaging it

    0:49 to see what the INSIDE looks like that you’re working to open without visual. Literally, seeing that image made the difference & I got it open right away. This was my 3rd video to try to assess what I needed to do, and none showed the inner workings. This was a game-changer!! Thank you!! 🙌🏻

  • @revenevan11
    @revenevan11 2 года назад +1

    I didn't have to even flatten the hanger in my case, just gave it enough force so the friction would make the spindle turn with it (or the spindle had a wide enough groove). Old doorknob, so the whole mechanism was a bit larger and possibly different, but with this video I went from blindly fumbling with my straightened coat hanger, to using the same coat hanger and getting it open! Airbnb roommates are gonna love me lol

    just spent the past hour looking for a screw driver small enough to fit, failing, looking for a paper clip to bend into a key, getting it stuck on a practice door knob, then taking the hander of a wire clothes hanger hitting it into a key and finally succeeding.

    You were very clear - the clearest I've found, and I've been looking for HOURS . I can't get in still. I've tried all that stuff, nothing works. I took the door knob off thinking I could look at it better - the groove that you have to stick something in is apparent, but it won't turn! It's supposed to turn within the outer tube it's in, right?! It's not turning. I've tried a bunch of different things- it won't turn. As for the credit card - how on earth do you get a credit card to turn in and up?! A metrocard does it because it's flexible, but it's not strong enough. I'm losing my mind!!!! HELP!!!
