With or without a tension wrench?
- jeffbee 6y agoHere's a (crop from a) photo of a small child who has just picked a front door lock with a bent paper clip and a small screwdriver for the tension. This was not an exercise; we were really locked out! https://imgur.com/a/1leW6Ij https://imgur.com/a/1leW6Ij

- sgerenser 6y agoI’ve been in a similar situation and got in within seconds using an old credit card. The lock in the handle (as opposed to the deadbolt) of most home doors is basically worthless.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoI've opened up the front door of our old house before (when I was like twelve? ish?) with a bit of wire I found in the shed; my parents didn't lock the door and the latch on the inside was hook-shaped, so getting in with a wire through the mail slot was pretty easy. I learned it on TV, a segment criticizing that exact type of lock, lol.
