How to Open a Privacy Lock Without a Key?

So here it’s in the lock. Position. You can kind of almost feel it so right now when I put it in flat like this and I insert it I could feel it work inside the groove. And once I twist, it will unlock the lock.

Alright, so what you look for is a little hole in the bottom. Usually, take a bobby pin. And if you push straight in, it should activate the little button.

By definition, privacy locks are locksets that can be locked by a button or a turn piece on the inside with no key function.

I had it stuck. Okay, feel it in there, you just push on it, and that will unlock your door.

Got my pick. Put it in the top. The door is still locked right. This might take you a few tries. But I’m going to push against the tension wrench which is on the bottom and I’m going to pull back.

Find the small slot along the doorknob stem on one of the doorknobs. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot. Push the tip of the screwdriver against the tab inside the slot to release the knob from the privacy doorknob stem. Pull the doorknob from the stem.

Stick the flat end of the pin into the top of the lock and bend it. Stick the pin in about 1 centimeter, then fold the rest of the bobby pin until it’s flush against the face of the doorknob. This will bend the tip at an angle. You’ll use the bent end of the pin to disengage the pins in the lock.

Hey, if you’ve got a bedroom or bathroom doorknob that looks like this and you accidentally lock yourself out, there’s a pretty easy way to get in if you take a flat blade screwdriver.

There are five pins inside a standard lock. And each pin needs to be pressed up to the same point for the lock to open. You can use the end of the pick to press the pins up.

Okay. So we don’t want to actually force it. We just want to put enough to be able to turn it. So just a little bit of tension, just like that is enough to open up that lock.

It won’t work on a deadbolt. Step 2, choose a card. If you have a plastic card that’s less valuable than a credit card, like a video membership card, try that first. Laminated cards work best because they are stiffer.

This is the video on how to remove a doorknob with no visible screws on the exterior knob. You should find a little latch near the base of the knob. You’ll need a flathead screwdriver to push in the latch.
