How To Open A Deadbolt Lock With A Screwdriver

2022-12-13 08:40


Can you open the lock on your door or car by yourself without calling a locksmith if you unintentionally lock yourself out? The answer is yes. If you misplace your key and find yourself locked out, don't panic; as long as you have some tools on hand, such a screwdriver, you can quickly unlock the locked door. The most often used and most basic tool for people is a screwdriver, which can readily turn and prod objects for simple operation. Additionally, you can store the necessary Lock Picking Tools at home in case you need them.
 
What lockpicking tool do we need
You can select your favorite approach before using a screwdriver to pick the lock, and the tools required will vary depending on the method you select. To open a closed door, you might need more than just a screwdriver.
 
Screwdriver
A flathead or Phillips screwdriver can be required. You may remove the mounting screws for a privacy lock using a Phillips screwdriver and a little flathead screwdriver that fits in the hole. To remove the cover and the door hinges if you're choosing out a privacy lock, you'll need a little, thin, but typical-sized flathead screwdriver with a flat-blade. Therefore, you must have both varieties of screwdrivers available.
 
Rake tool
You must pry the lock open using a rake tool in order to pick it. You can also use a paper clip or hairpin if you don't have a rake tool. Its tip must first be bent to resemble a rake tool. To pry the lock open, insert a paper clip or bobby pin into the keyhole. Make sure the object is sturdy enough to not break and is made of metal.
 
Hammer and nails
A hammer and a nail are also required if you want to remove the door hinges, so make sure that the instrument you use is large enough for you to use to push the pin.
 
How to open a normal lock with a screwdriver
The first step in using a flathead screwdriver to pick a lock is to place it in the bottom of the keyhole and turn it clockwise while applying just the correct amount of pressure when it is seated. You must maintain this pressure the entire time. Once the screwdriver is in place, you can either place the rake tool over it or, if you don't have one, use a bent bobby pin or paper clip. Make sure the rake tool can only reach all of the pins in the lock. After that, slide the rake tool back and forth while adjusting its angle to push each lock's pins. Repeat the actions listed above until you hear a click, which indicates that you have opened the lock.
 
Paper clips and hairpins, however, are not appropriate for all keyways. In unusual circumstances, you still need to buy Locksmith Tools from lockpickmall.com or customize your own tools to unlock them.
