If the hinges are on the out side then you can knock the pins out with a screw driver and hammer, the door will come right out if not try the old credit card trick, Just like that person said slide the card into the gap centered up at the door knob. keep working it and it should slide between the lock it is round on that side. You said it was a cheap lock and you were not calling a lock smith Then go to the garage and get you a pipe wrench put it on the knob and turn it that will get you in for sure. And go to Lowes and buy you another one. I think it would be cheaper to let in to the old lock smith.

Are you locked inside or outside of your room o_O It depends on the type of door knob you have - some can be opened with a key or a quarter from the outside. If you're on the inside that's where the lock should be.
You can also try sliding a credit card down the crack b/w the door and the side of the door frame where the lock is - I've seen it work before but it may not work on all locks.

If the door has a tiny hole in the knob you something like a paperclip. Undo the paper clip and stick it in the hole while turning the knob.
If it doesn't have a hole use some sort of card (prefereably a credit card, make sure you use the side without the strip) and slid it between the door and the door frame, right next to the door. It should pop it open.
If the top two don't work, then unscrew the hinges, you can always put it back very easily.

Depends on which way the door opens. If you can see where the thing goes in the hole on your door frame you can use a credit card to push the thing back and pull or push the door open. If the frame is in the way something flexible but stiff would work. If the door handle has a hole in the middle of it get a paper clip and straighten it out and push that in the hole, you may have to twist it around to get it to open. If you can see the hinges get a screw driver and a hammer and knock the pins upward. The door should come off without too much problem.

If it is an older door and you can slip a credit card, or some kind of card in between the door and where the lock goes in the wall; you can get the lock to slide back.

If your door knob has a small hole on the side you're on, get a very thin, tiny screwdriver. Its a turn lock inside the hole that can be turned with a small blade (not phillips) screwdriver.

Get a screwdriver, unscrew the screws that are right underneath the knob and push the knob in. When that is done, push in the door opener thingy and you're in! I've done it a couple of times.

If the knob has a hole in the middle of the handle, the part you turn, you can use a small slot screw driver to insert then twist to unlock the door.
If not, then wait for your mom to come home and tell her the truth.
2008-12-30 09:56:22 UTC
get them to open it from the other side?
or go out of the window and into the other room
or youll have to knock it down.
unless you can pick the lock

if the door opens to the inside you can take the piece of trim on the door jam off and take a small regular screw driver and push it in where the door latches, it should open right up.

a butter knife or a credit card will do the trick you insert it between the door and door jam were they latch you have to slide it one the rounded edge so depending on how the door knob is in stalled...you either slide it straight in or you slide it in above or below the latch and bring it to you. that ought to do the trick locked or not.

well get a "skiny" pen and place it into the whole of the locked door. jus twist and turn until u hear a loud sound coming from the door. that means it's unlocked
2008-12-30 09:56:32 UTC
Sometimes check over the door for a key, use a pin, use a fork, plastic knife, tools, silverware.

Try a straight pin. If not take it off the hinges. You can do this and not damage the door.

in the center of the knob there should be a sm hole,use a stiff wire and push straight in,,,like a piece of a coat hanger made perfectly straighter,,or if the hinges are on the out sd take the pins out and your home free???
2008-12-30 09:55:51 UTC
stick a scribe tool in the hole, unless its a KEY lock bust it down or go through the window

shove a clip or a bobby pin in the lock and twist it
this works for my doorknob but i dont know what kind of doorknob you have
ed_man118
2008-12-30 09:56:14 UTC
It depends on the doorknob. If there's a hole, you can stick a toothpick inside and jiggle it around to unlock it.

if there is a small hole in the center of the door knob you can push a nail inside and it will open.
