To open a locked door without a key, follow these steps:
Force the card between the lock and the frame, flush against the frame. Bend it back to force the lock back into the door. If there’s no room between the lock and the frame, force it between the door and the frame above the lock, then swipe quickly downward while angling the card toward the frame.
If the lock is a spring lock, slide a credit card you don’t mind damaging between the lock and the door frame. Bend the card back towards the frame to force the lock into the door.
Use hook, rake, and tension wrenches as traditional lock picking tools and the key to unlocking the door.
Use Bobby Pins or hairpins to pick the lock with lock picks, bobby pins, and paperclips. You can bump or shim the lock, insert the card between the lock and door frame, and bend the card back to force the lock open. For interior doors with a small hole in the handle, use a small screwdriver to unlock it.
Lift the door using the pulley latch or flat lever bar underneath the door slab and frame. Most latches can be slipped. There are methods of picking, bumping, and raking cylinder locks.
Open the bobby pin so it bends at a 90° angle, shave off the rubber tip on the straight end with a knife or razor, insert that end into the keyhole, and use a small flat head screw driver to turn the lock to open.
Kick the lock on the door with the bottom of your foot, sometimes called a “snap kick”. Snap your leg straight out in front of you to pull the door toward the studs and away from the jamb.

Fixing a sticking uPVC door lock. Another quick ‘Dad job’ for Haxby Shed.
I am a locksmith & the majority of my customers ask for the lowest price lock when I am fitting a replacement. To do it right you need a one or 3 star anti snap cylinder and PAS handles to realy beef up your security & this does not come cheap. If after perusal this you dont do anything about this security flaw then you are asking for trouble.
Lol, listen mate you effort to remove the seconds is in vain. The thieves already know, the content is already on YouTube. Honestly the best thing to do these days is promote high security lock down cylinders instead of hiding the vulnerability from your audience. Hiding something that could potentially cause danger to someone because they think their cylinder is safe is not a good thing however I understand that you don’t want to be part of the problem of the method being leaked to the public.
Most people replace their TV, laptop, mobile phone and other expensive items, every couple of years, yet trust their security & ultimately their safety, to a lock that was on the door when they moved in, often of a design that is decades old – the euro cylinder is an inferior copy of the Yale cylinder, patented by Linus Yale Jr in 1861. If, as a locksmith, I suggest they upgrade, they think I’m trying to rip them off! The usual response is, “well we’ve never been burgled yet”!
I’m a locksmith – there is an estate near to me, where all the properties were fitted with cylinders which overhang like this when they were built! I got a b*ll*cking from a copper last week for informing people on this estate that their locks are ‘vulnerable to attack’! When I asked him if he was aware of lock snapping he replied, “of course, I’m a detective constable”. After a few minutes talking to him, it became blatantly obvious that he didn’t have a clue what I was talking about!
I am a locksmith & although it is a good thing to advise your customers about this, it is not really a good thing to show to the world on YouTube. Anyone who should know this already does. Cutting out 4 seconds of the article does not help because it does not take much intelligence to work out what you need to do once you have snapped the cylinder.
@Waltdis031 new doors may not have the barrel sticking out that much, but as a locksmith, 80% of the upvc cylinders I change are like this when I get there, sometimes sticking out as much as 40mm. Some people change the cylinders themselves and don’t realise the importance of have the correct size and offset
Even if the lock is not sticking out, all the the burglar has to do is remove the handle with a pair of mole grips. This exposes enough of the lock to be broken. I unfortunately have personal experience of being on the wrong end of this. We have had our cylinder locks updated to the new British safety standard.
after you break the lock all you need to do i stick your finger in a feel for a piece of metal poking out click it up or down and the door unlock i know this because i live i a block of flats and the landlord removed the lock to the back door and i have to unlock it like ive just thiefs DONT USE FRONT DOORS they use open and closed windows they use back door they use what ever is lease secure in your property my bro had his back windows took out the your door is the strongest point of you house
