Below we have four tricks that you can do to open a bedroom door without keys!
How to Open Bedroom Door without Keys
Before using these tools, please make sure that you know the type of door so you can choose the right tool to open it. Basically, there are two types of locks that you can see from their hole or slot, those are push-in and twist-button types.
PIN/PAPER CLIP
We’re pretty sure that most people know this trick from some movies. Other than this tool, you can also use other stiff bits of wire.
- Bend the tool apart to make a long and straight piece of metal.
- If the door has a push-in lock, insert it directly into the hole until you feel some resistance, then push.
- For a twisting type, insert the pin into the keyhole and twist the knob while wiggling the pin at the same time until it catches on something, then apply pressure. To open a twist-lock, you should sweep the item both clockwise and counter-clockwise until the lock releases.
- Once you hear a click, it indicates the door is unlocked.

CARD
It’s recommended to use non-confidential cards like a grocery membership, loyalty, library, and stiff business card. You can also use a knife that doesn’t have a sharp blade (butter or spreader knives).
- Start from above the door handle by sliding the card into the gap between the frame and the door.
- Tilt the card towards the knob and bend it to slide.
- Lean on the door while wiggling the card back and forth until the door unlocks.

REMOVE THE KNOB
This last trick is your last hope and please note that you might need more time to use this step.
- For privacy doors, use a screwdriver to undo the screws that hold the knob.
- Once you remove them, put the screwdriver into the lock of the door handle and twist it gently to release the lock.
- Apply some pressure to the knob by pulling on the loosened screws.
- Sometimes the screws are hidden behind a decorative collar and you have to remove them by inserting a clip into the small hole of the collar or gently pry the collar with a flathead screwdriver.
