kwi bumps, turns 90% does not unlock

[newblaze]

Successful bumps on lock out of door. In door key turns almost all the way but does not unlock. Frustrated. Quick help appreciated. Thanks

turning the key the wrong way, would be my first guess.

Why do you need quick help though?

[xnoobandrew]

or something faulty with the lock?

[JackNco]

What kind of lock. please fill in your location details. posibly a latch problem?

We will be able to help more with more details of location and lock. also a picture of it. BTW why are u bumping a door lock? best bet is to call a locksmith if its on a house door ive killed a few locks bumping.

theres only a few options...
one: your turning the knob/lev er/deadbolt the wrong way to unlock
two: your lock is broken/damaged
three: you broke/damaged your lock...

Doors become tight when the foundations of the building settle, sometimes the weight of the door is resting on the bolt, lift the door by the handle and then try to turn it

I was thinking I needed to modify my key. Turns out I was practicing on it one way and did not realize different doors unlock different directions. (So obvious now) Hope this helps some other helpless fool like myself. Thanks!

Needed help quick because I lack patience and it was driving me nuts!

i have had this myself on a yale euro,some doors once picked need the handle eased down as you are rotating the barrel

[Shrub]

Almost right with the euro answer but not quite,

Its likely a euro cylinder but as youve removed the tip off your key it no longer pushes the cam in to oporate the mechs,

You really should not be doing it on your door although i suppose it gets work in

what direction are you turning it. i beleive you have a Kwikset if it is a key in knob lock you need to turn it in a certain direction.

see he got his answer the wrong way.... certain makes and models does not matter what does matter is direction of install and mechinism

[thekeymaker]

Certain Makes and Models do Matter as for a kwikset key in knob lock it unlocks a certain way even if it is upside down. and for lock picking some times it is easier to pick a lock in the wrong direction then to spin the plug back to the correct way.
