Thanks so much. I was locked in the room. Quickly searched in RU-vid and found your channel. Thank God my mom was at home to pass me some paper clips. And it was unlocked within seconds. 🙏. Will make sure to keep some paper clips in my room from now on.

Wish I'd seen this video before I had spent half a hour hacksawing through the brass lock. Only reason I could do that was we had another exit to fetch some tools. Going to keep some large paperclips in each room now.! Thanks for the video.

Got locked in my office. Dodgy door handle. This helped me get out. Thanks!

My bedroom door was just locked..in panic mode and thank goodness for youtube and l came to your video. Luckily there was someone in the house to pass paper clips. It took a second to open the door. Thank you again.

Thanks for the video, it helped us out of a jam. The paperclip wasn't strong enough but, as you said, knowing the principle behind the fix enabled me to persevere. A wire coat hanger (straightened) and a strong shove from the other side ( by my hubby) finally overcame the strongest door snib in creation 😂

Thankyou so much I was locked in the room for an hour and I literally tried every soliution and then I finally found your video and it flippin worked I was so happy when it opened thankyou so much!

Thank u so much me and my sister were locked in the room and my mother was so worried outside.I used a bobby pin and my sister kept moving the door which helped the jammed lock gradually move from the place. My mom is happy now thank u😀 And you got a subscriber and like👍

this saved my life OMG. i have been trapped in my front room for hours. beyond grateful.

Locked inside my bathroom at 3am, grabbed a floss pick and worked it through ! Also I’ve been dreaming of the credit card thing (and even though to cut one of my old titanium credit cards (with what I have no idea those things are like tanks)) but didn’t know there was an actual product out there. May get one to keep with me. Thanks for the vid (old and new I appreciate both

RESULT!!! The wire round the lock solution is a lifesaver, well, not a lifesaver but deffo a daughter saver!! I talked my daughter through this hack and she walked free from her room within seconds!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!! Literally was locked inside of a room of an AirBnB and was going to have to wait up to an hour before someone could show up and this video did the trick!! 😂😂🙏🙏 Can’t thank you enough for this!!

Thank you! I had to use a stronger material because the paper clip kept opening up. It seems the bolt had too much tension, so I made a similar design out of wire used for hanging pictures. I pulled an ample amount through so that I could really grasp it, then grabbed both ends of the wire and pulled as I opened the door. This was a very helpful video. Thanks!

Great video. I used a piece of plastic line from a weed trimmer and it worked!

Was incredibly helpful earlier today when my own sitting room door handle broke. Great video😀.

This video is damn good. Just now got locked in washroom. Got out using a trick shown in this video. Thank you so so much

Thank you. I was stuck in my room just now while trying to install a new latch. I was going to remove the hinges off the door when I decided to look online for a solution. The minute you showed the card I knew that I had a file filled with old credit cards. I cut one of them and instantly the door opened. Now i need to find out why the latch failed.

Thank you so much for this video. It is really helpful. I managed to open my room door using the paper clip.

It's Christmas Day and I got locked... It worked Thank you so much🙏

This is great - I used the wire on an exercise book, and it opened in seconds.

Thank you! Just saved me a lot of aggro. I was getting stressed and this video saved me :)

Thanks so much, disaster has just been averted we managed to do it with a ribbon with one person pushing the ribbon through from the other side - luckily it was downstairs so we were able to use external doors to get round to do this.

Used your paper clip technique. Worked a treat! Unfortunately it meant the children could get out...

I didn’t have a big enough paperclip so instead I bent the metal ring from a key ring into shape and was able to get my door handle open.

Couldn't find paper clips or picture wire large or strong enough to do the job. Thankfully there was enough of a gap to use a thin metal coat hanger

THANK YOU, YOU SAVED US!

brilliant... omg, it worked and I am now free. Thankyou

Thanks so much! I got out of my locked room lol

Very cool my friend, never seen this before

I’m stuck now I have not got a paper clip or a special tool been in here I hour hopefully husband reads his message my handle fell off and bar has gone through over side

Lifesaver, Thanks!

You are a legend ♡♡♡♡

what could I use other than a paper clip

Life saver!!

HERO!

Thank you Sir

Try a metal wire clothes hanger.

Didn't work for me, the paper clip just straightens out. Stronger wire doesn't work either because the bolt doesn't move down (or up) , it moves inwards and you need a door handle to twist to make it move in that direction.

DOOR STUCK, DOOR STUCK!!! CANT SNEAK THROUGH THE DOOR MAN, THE SHIT'S STUCK

My bedroom door is stuck...

This doesn't work if you're stuck on the other side of the door...

Many thanks
