How To Pick A Bedroom Door Lock?

We all tend to forget keys sometimes or leave them inside our rooms or cars. In such situations, we tend to panic, and it becomes hard to come across the perfect idea. However, there is an alternative solution for everything if we put our mind to it. Similarly, picking a bedroom lock is possible if we forget our keys. We just need to go through some simple steps.

Method To Unlock A Bedroom Door Lock

To pick a bedroom door lock, we need to carefully analyze and follow some simple steps. There are different kinds of methods to pick a bedroom door lock. We will discuss three such methods.

Method 1: By Using A Paperclip

Using a paper clip to open doors has been helpful in most cases. It just requires the correct procedure and a lot of patience.

 

Things we will require- a paper clip or a thin metal wire/a a bobby pin/a a small screwdriver as substitutes, in case you do not have a paper clip.

Let us go through the steps to complete our procedure:

Step 1: The lock type

At first, we will need to know what kind of door lock our bedroom has. This is necessary as the type of lock we have will let us know the type of method we will be owning. If the slot of your bedroom lock is 1/2 inches, it has a twist button mechanism.
If your slot has a ¼-inch diameter, you have a push-button mechanism lock.

Step 2: Bend the paper clip apart

Now, we need to straighten the paper clip by bending it apart. We need to be careful not to hurt ourselves with it. If it becomes hard, we can make the use of a tension wrench, and then straighten it till it is fully stretched.

Step 3: Do your procedure

Now, we need to take the stretched slip and insert it into our lock. How we do the procedure depends on our lock type.

In the case of a push button lock mechanism, the clip should not be bent any further. We need to insert the straightened clip into the lock, and if we feel an obstacle, we are in the right place. We need to try different combinations of opening it until we hear an opening sound.

In case of a twist button lock, our door-knob plays as a helping hand. The procedure will be the same for opening the lock, but at the same time, we need to rotate the doorknob as well until we hear a click.

Method 2: A Card

A card is not a traditional method of opening doors, but since we humans keep on coming up with new DIY techniques to solve problems, it is one of those. Laminated cards prevent the damaging of the card. It is advisable to avoid important cards as they can get wrecked.

 

We need to follow some simple steps to complete our procedure:

Step 1: Insert the card between the door and the frame.

Cards are best suited if you possess a door lock with a spring mechanism. We take the card and put it between our door and the door frame, with the help of tilting it.

Tilting makes it easy to swipe. We must make sure to place it above our door handle.

Step 2: Move the card back and forth:

A leaning body position towards the door will help us exert more pressure on our door lock. We need to insert our card and move it back and forth.

If our technique of inserting the card and our posture is correct, we can get our results on the first try, i.e, in our first swipe.

Method 3: A Knife

A knife can also be used to open doors. It can serve both as a tension wrench and a lock picker simultaneously.

 

Step 1: Insertion of knife

At first, we need to insert our knife, to the dead-end of your keyhole, until we feel no more obstacle.

Step 2: Applying pressure

Then, we need to apply optimum pressure. We need to make a note of just applying the right amount of pressure and not too much pressure. The pins inside the lock will twist and turn along with the knife.

Step 3: Moving your knife

Now, we need to move our knife up and down, and in and out of the lock simultaneously.

Step 4: Try different combinations

Try different combinations when trying to open your lock, from different angles. When the right combination is applied, your door lock will automatically open. We can also try a different method to open our door with the help of a knife.

In this case, the knife will act as a tension wrench. These are some simple methods to help you in case of an emergency. Following these methods properly will bring out the best results.
