]]> 48204 2 31 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/31.jpg Check the lock Check the lock. A credit card will only open a spring bolt—the kind of lock that comes with a standard doorknob. It won’t work on a deadbolt.

]]> 48206 3 40 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/40.jpg Choose a card Choose a card. If you have a plastic card that’s less valuable than a credit card, like a video membership card, try that first.

]]> 48207 4 49 Tip Laminated cards work best, because they tend to be flexible.

]]> 48208 5 53 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/53.jpg Insert card Wedge the card between the door and the frame where the doorknob’s latch is located.

]]> 48209 6 58 Tip Many doors have molding that will make this difficult; if you’re desperate to enter, you can pry it off—but keep in mind this may cause more damage than the cost of a locksmith.

]]> 48210 7 68 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/68.jpg Wiggle and jiggle Holding the card flush against the doorframe, begin pushing and wiggling it towards the latch in the door crack.

]]> 48211 8 75 Tip If the sloped side of the latch isn’t facing you, you will need a tool or long piece of plastic that you can hook around the other side and pull towards you, making this much more difficult.

]]> 48212 9 85 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/85.jpg Push and bend While pushing the card in, begin bending it away from the doorknob. When you feel it slide the latch back, the door should open.

]]> 48213 10 94 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/68576/94.jpg Call a locksmith If you got into your home, don’t be so smug—it means you have a crappy lock. Call a locksmith and get a deadbolt.

]]> 48214 11 102 Fact Most home burglaries occur in the middle of the day with the majority of burglars entering through the front door, which is often unlocked.
