My home is my fortress. Therefore, every owner should make sure that no one unwanted can enter his home or car. But there are only such cases in life when the door is closed, and the owner is outside. And, unfortunately, the keys are neither in his pocket nor in his hands. And since the owner is good and thought everything through, the door is strong, you can't get around it just like that. You can put up with it and try to move to the street. However, this option is only suitable for the summer, a professional locksmith would be a simpler solution.
How to open the door yourself
First you need to assess the situation. If the door just slams shut, with no mechanical damage or visible defects, remember who has a spare key. Good relations with neighbors will help not only to borrow salt in a difficult time, but also to get out of such situations.
In various films, it is shown how the heroes sneak onto the balcony from the neighbors from the side or above. We do not recommend taking risks - everything can end quite tragically. And it is too early to knock out the door - it will spoil the finishing materials, and you will have to repair the door with a lock.
There are several situations in which it may be necessary emergency opening of locks even when you have the key with you:
- the frame gained moisture and swelled. Here you need to dry it. Fans will help with interior doors, but with entrance doors you will just have to wait;
- the door was crooked. This happens because of weak loops. In the place where the door touches the box, you should drive a wooden wedge, and then use it as a lever;
- problems in the lock (including a broken blade). The most common and most difficult option. Here you will have to unscrew or drill out the entire mechanism, after which change either the lock or its core.
Most of these problems can be avoided if you entrust the installation of doors and locks to professionals. Also periodically lubricate the lock - so it will not jam.
What to do with car doors
Emergency opening of car doors is another common situation. The problem arises as a result of glitches in electronics or banal inattention of the driver. There are several ways to solve this task:
- use spare keys;
- look for spare keys under the rear wing of the car - some manufacturers leave them there;
- try to open the lock with keys from other cars - sometimes it helps, even when the keys are not at all like yours;
- call the master.
As an option, you can try to bend the door, and then use a thin object to press on the electric windows. However, such a case is quite risky, there is a possibility of damaging the parts. In this case, the repair will be much more expensive than the services of masters.

How to prove that you are the owner
