I know theres abunch o f other questions like this but I am locked out of my room. i've tried the credit card and that didnt work cause the space between the door frame and the door is too narrow and i couldnt fit the card in. There's a hole in the middle of the doorknob on the outside. I have acoathanger that I'm poking in it but it ain't doing anything. It's one of those lockes that you turn and then close the door from the outside, not a push in one. I don't know if I'm hitting the latch or whatever inside the hole. Is it straight down or is it on an angle? I've tried everything please help me!!

the hole is not on the front of the lock but on the side. I just called a locksmith and he said that that hole is to take the whole knob off. $55 for someone to come over... that's not good at all. I'm thinking this guy might be lying to get a sale.

take the pins out of the hinges.

Thin nail & push in hole (not turn, but push in) and turn door knob at same time. Sometimes you can find a little nail that is holding a picture on the wall. If the nail is TOO pointed you may still have a problem getting the right push in spot.

Look into the hole with a flashlight. It may be slotted like a screw and you will need a small screwdriver or to flatten out the end of the coathanger to turn it.

use a small screw driver in the hole.
