Unlocking Door With Shoe Lace

A great stunt to impress your friends with. Mcguyver would be proud.

If you have ever found yourself locked out of your room, or your child has locked you out of theirs, then don’t worry. There is now an easy way to unlock the door, as long as it has a regular spring loaded lock, that will take you no time at all. You will be surprised that it actually works because it is so easy to do. But, it really does work and more than likely you will be successful the first time you try. It should take you about 15 seconds to unlock the door if you have done it correctly.

All you'd is just a shoelace.. that’s right; a common shoelace is all you need to unlock the door. Preferably one that still has the little hard plastic pieces on the end because this will make the job a little easier.

The first step is to take the shoelace and feed it into the small space between the door and the door frame. You want to do this above the lock. Once you have fed the lace through the door you want to loop it around the lock and pull the lace back out the same side, but this time below the lock. So, you should be holding one side of the shoelace above the lock and the other side below the lock. At this point you want to ensure the strings are very taut. Once they are all you have to do is pull steadily and the door will just open right on up.

Trying a credit card, knife, hair pin, or any other device to open the door might also work, but it will take much longer and will probably damage the door or the device you are using. So, use a shoelace instead and you can open a spring loaded lock in mere seconds. It’s cool and it works. Give it a try today.
