If it's really life saving, break the lock and/or door.
You're right - locks are generally meant to keep out less committed thieves, but lock-picking is hard for the average person. It takes a lot of practice, good light, and a steady hand.
Picking a lock in an emergency situation seems impractical when you can just wrench the mechanism open.

- tiborsaas 6y agoThe article is about prepping, lock picking is fun, so why not. Learning the basics is not hard and I'm sure you can imagine a situation when making a lot of noise or mess is not the best option.
