You are looking for a way to open your bedroom door but it is locked. You can’t find the key and have verified that you have not misplaced it. What do you do?
You could call someone to help you open the lock.
How about a locksmith? There are many people who specialize in this trade and they can be found on a variety of search engines. You could also ask your family or friends if they know how to pick locks, or maybe there is a spare key hidden nearby. Whatever the case may be, here are some ways to open a locked bedroom door without any problems.
Use a Locksmith
A locksmith is an experienced professional with skills in opening locks. If you cannot find a spare key and you have lost yours, a locksmith may be the best bet. A good locksmith would know how to open most types of door lock.
It might not be the cheapest solution, but it will get the job done. They can also help you get a replacement key if needed.
Find the spare key
One of the simplest ways to open a locked door is by finding the spare key. If you are in a hurry, you can use this as a last resort and just hope it works. Check under furniture and in other places where a spare key could be hidden. If you cannot find it and have no other options, there are locksmiths who know how to pick locks.
Use a Credit Card To Open The Lock
If you don’t have any other options, use a credit card to open the lock.
Have a credit card on you that is not expired?
If so, it can be used to open the door. First, fold the card in half and place it on top of the knob on the inside. Gently wiggle it back and forth until it gets in between the bolt and the edge of the door. The credit card will push down and release when it has found enough space by pushing against both sides of the bolt.
This method might not work for all types of knobs or locks, but it’s worth a try if you’re stuck with no other options.
Remove Any Screws On the Door Handle To Unlock It
If the door handle is screwed in, you’ll need to unscrew it. Once the screws are out of place, you will be able to pull the door handle off and use it to unlock the door. This is a quick way for you to open your bedroom door without any problems.
Use A Shoelace To Unlock It
You might need to be a little creative with this one, but there is an easy solution. You can use the lace on your shoe to unlock it.
Take the lace out of your shoe and thread it through the keyhole. Then pull back on both ends of the lace until you feel some give in the lock. This will make the lock release and you’ll be able to open your door.
Cut Thoughted Doorknob With A Saw
If the doorknob is made of inexpensive material, like wood or plastic, you can use a saw to cut through it. You will want to make sure that the blade does not wobble in place and cut off your fingers. So, be careful.
To make sure that your saw does not overheat as you cut through this type of material, keep a bucket of cold water nearby and dip the blade into it every few minutes.
If the knob is made of more durable material and cannot be cut through with a saw, the next best thing would be to kick it down. This will cause damage to your door but at least you’ll have an open door!
Conclusion
Sometimes the locks on your bedroom door can get jammed and you don’t have a spare key. Luckily, there are a few ways to open up the door without a key.
Locksmiths can often come by in a few minutes and make a new key for you, but if they’re not available, you can find the spare key with a little bit of detective work. Another method is to use a credit card to open the lock. If all else fails, remove any screws on the door handle and use the shoelace to unlock it. And if none of those methods work, then it’s time to break out the saw and cut through the doorknob!
