How do you pick a house lock?


Rate This Answer

To unlock a home door lock: get a flat sided hair pin, insert it into the hole on the front of knob, and turn. This will unlock this type. If it doesn't open, use a dull knife to go between the door frame and the lock. This will push the little metal bar in, bypassing the lock, and you should be able to open the door. ChaCha!
