America Door Lock

Postby mgator1 » 27 Nov 2005 0:28

My 7yr old locked my keys in my bedroom. Its a keyed lock from Home Depot. I have not found a way to get in without breaking the door down. There is no gap for me to jimmy the lock with a knife or credit card. I have no lock picking tools. Any ideas other than breaking down the door?

That is a tad on the expensive side. You must be the only lockie in your area.

mgator1 If you did not get that open you can get you drill out, that will do it and cheaper that kicking the door down.

Am I the only one wondering how this could be possible? Is the 7 child still in the bedroom, or did it throw the keys through the window that doesn't exist into the bedroom after it was locked? Well I'm unable to figure it out. :?

I thought the same, why have a latch on the bed room,

Where you based?

If one of us is locla we may come out!

You could pull the carpet up and then lift the floor boards then use a pole with a hook on the end to get the keys 8)

I'm gonna go out on a limb and try and fill in the blank here. I'd bet it's a Key In Knob cylinder, which was locked from the inside (while the door was open) and then the door was closed from the outside.

But boy oh boy we are a suspicious bunch, aren't we? ;) I suppose the coke machine h4x0r n00bs have trained us well. :P
