If your room has a keyed lock installed, I assume you live in some kind of dorm environment. Get the maintenance staff to open it for you. Otherwise, call a locksmith. We don't encourage people to pick locks in use, especially locks they do not own.

FWIW, defiant is one of those kwikset clones, commonly found at home depot. I put one on my bedroom door to keep out casual/accidental trespassers. You can probably punch through the cheap interior door easily, but that takes a little bit of effort - hopefully enough to make you think "oh, that's not the bathroom" or "ok, this really is off-limits during the party."



But like Tigerdragon says - we strongly discourage picking in-use locks, especially when you're inexperienced. There's a good chance you'll break something, either part of the lock or part of whatever it is that you're using as a tool. Call a locksmith or your maintenance person, and learn lockpicking at some lower-stress time - like when you're not locked out of your room. :)

Call a locksmith, or if you have someone responsible for maintenance- like a superintendent, etc.
