You must be very frustrated when you lock the door but forget to bring the key. If you call a locksmith it may take hours, but you don’t have that much time. Knowing how to poke a lock can help you get out of this situation, and it’s a useful skill in an emergency.
Steps
Use two hairpins
Unfold a hairpin until the ends form a 90-degree angle. Be careful not to stretch too wide to avoid breaking the metal rod. You will have to use another hairpin if you let it break in half. Now the hairpin has been curled into an “L” shape. [1] X Research Source

Strip off the plastic wrap at the ends. Usually you can use your teeth to remove this plastic. You can also use pliers to pull the plastic out, or scrape it off with a fruit knife. [2] X Research Source

Bend one end to a 45-degree angle. You will insert one end of the metal rod into the lock and break it to the side. A small piece at the end of the metal rod will be folded into a 45-degree angle. Avoid bending too much, this is not a 90 degree bend like the first time. [3] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks- on-Doorknobs-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-4- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fold the other end into the handle. By this point the hairpin should be in the shape of an “L” with the flat end slightly folded down. Hold the other end folded in half to form a “V” shape (V-angle about 20 degrees) to use as a handle.

Get a second hairpin. You need an extra hairpin to insert into the lock and turn. [4] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks- on-Doorknobs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/21/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-6- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Bend the end of the second hairpin to a 70-degree angle. Do not stretch this hairpin out like the previous one. Instead, you’ll use pliers to bend its closed end to a 70-degree angle. You can also use the same method as with the first hairpin. Insert the closed end of the hairpin into the keyhole and bend it to the side to form a 70-degree angle.
Insert the closed end of the second hairpin (which acts as a lever) into the keyhole. This lever is responsible for guiding you during the poke, as well as helping you turn the lock when the latch bars have been pushed up. The open end acts as a handle, allowing you to turn the lever and press against the latch bars in the lock. [5] X Research Sources
Turn the lever slightly. Turn the lever gently but firmly in the direction you would normally turn the key to open the door. The locking mechanism will touch the latch bars and you will feel resistance. Maintain pressure on the lock shaft while you begin to poke the lock. [6] X Research Sources
Slide the poke (original hairpin) into the lock, just above the lever. The bent end will point up so it can push the pin bars up.
Look for stuck or “blocking” latch bars. Continuing to use the lever to maintain pressure on the lock, begin to push the poke forward in an up and down motion to feel the latch bars. Some pin bars can be moved up and down quite easily. Push the poke until it touches the “stuck” pin. This pin will be much harder to move. [7] X Research Sources
Handle the stuck latch bar until it clicks. Push the poke up and down over the jammed pin until it slides into the lock shaft and clicks. This is the sound of the locking shaft shifting to one side, indicating that the graduation on the pin has been matched to the lock shaft and is no longer blocking the lock shaft. [8] X Research Sources
Do the same with the rest of the pins. Once you solve one latch, the other will start to get stuck. Find that pin and do it the same way. [9] X Research Source
- Remember to keep pressure on the lever.
- Push the poke in an up and down motion. [10] X Research Source
- Recognize the sensation of the poke when it hits the pin, and use that to move the poke.
Turn the lever to open the lock. When you feel like you have pushed all the latches, press harder on the lever and the lock will open. [11] X Research Source
- If the lock doesn’t open, you may have pushed a latch too high. You can fix it by slightly reducing the pressure on the lever. Reducing the pressure will cause that pin to fall, but other pins can also fall and you have to start from the beginning. [12] X Research Source
Use a credit card
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c3/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c3/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Make sure your lock has a spring latch. A spring-loaded lock means that the inside of the lock has a spring and the pin is beveled at one end. This is one of the most common types of locks. The credit card method won’t work with other types of locks. Round handle locks are usually spring latches. If your door lock has a fixed latch, this method won’t work. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/14/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/14/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Select a card that you can apply for a renewal. This method will bend your card so it may break. Instead of using a credit card or ATM card, you should use an expired redemption card, a supermarket membership card, or a credit card that is rarely used and can be reissued easily. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/09/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-16.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/09/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert the card into the gap between the door and the door frame. Slide the card right into place of the latch bar, next to the door handle. You will have to bend the card to insert it into the slot.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/19/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/19/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Move the card up and down while pushing forward hard. You will have to push the card into the latch that is responsible for keeping the door locked. This pin has a beveled plane. Your goal is to slide the card along that plane to push the pin inward. [15] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/70/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-18.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-18.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/70/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-18.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-18.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Seven cards on the side facing the door. The tag puts pressure on the latch and pushes it back into the door.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/73/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-19.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-19.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/73/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-19.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-19.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Rotate the handle while you push the card. Start turning the handle to open the door while you push the card in. The door will open when the card slides through the latch, then the handle will rotate.
Open the button padlock

Preparing instruments. Push button locks are often installed on doors in homes, such as bedroom and bathroom doors. They have a button on the inside handle and the person inside can press the button to lock the door. Push button locks can be opened from the outside using different tools. Anything long and straight that can fit into the hole in the center of the handle will work. Consider using hairpins, paper clips or clothes hangers made of wire. [16] X Research Source

Locate the hole. Most button locks have a small hole in the center of the handle. If you don’t see it, check the base of the handle or the area that connects the handle to the door. You will see a small hole. [17] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f4/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-22.jpg/v4-460px-Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs- Step-22.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f4/Pick-Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-22.jpg/v4-728px-Pick- Locks-on-Doorknobs-Step-22.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Insert the paper clip into the hole and push. Push the clamp into the hole until you feel a stop. You will then press the paperclip forward. The lock will click and you can open the door.
