Do you have a lot of locked doors? If so, you might want to consider hiring a locksmith. A locksmith can help you by opening the door from the other side with minimum efforts. All you have to do is call a locksmith who will come to your place and use his/her equipment to open the door. Most of the time, this does not involve drilling holes in the door or unscrewing anything. Instead, it requires just entering through a certain side and opening it from the opposite direction. This article explains how to open a locked door with a screwdriver.
How To Open A Locked Door With A Screwdriver
1. Find the right screwdriver
You will need a screwdriver to open the door. The type of screwdriver you need depends on the type of lock on the door. A Phillips head screwdriver is best for most types of locks. If you’re not sure, try it out on a door and see if it works or not.
2. Use the right technique
If you’re trying to open a door with no screws, then you’ll have to use your hands to pry from one side. If there are screws, then use pliers or a flat head screwdriver to unscrew them from their holes in order to open the door from its other side.
3. Use a hammer
If there are no screws, then you can use your hands and feet to pry it open from both sides with enough force so that it opens up easily when you pull inward from both sides at once. If there are screws, then use pliers or a hammer to remove them first before opening the door with your hands and feet at once in order for it does not to break apart when trying to do so with just one side of it being pulled inward at once while pulling inward from the other side as well simultaneously (you might want to consider using safety measures such as gloves and safety glasses).

4. Use pliers or a hammer (if needed)
If there are no screws and nothing else can be used such as using your bare hands and feet, then you can use a hammer to break down the door from both sides at once by hitting it as hard as possible. For example, you can use a hammer to break down a door from the top and bottom at once if there are no screws or if you’re using your bare hands and feet to pry it open from both sides at once.
5. Use the right tools (if needed)
If there are screws, then use pliers or a screwdriver to unscrew them first before opening the door with your bare hands and feet simultaneously in order for it not break apart when trying to do so with just one side of it being pulled inward at once while pulling inward from the other side as well simultaneously (you might want to consider using safety measures such as gloves and safety glasses). This video shows how this is done:
6. Open the door(s)
Once you successfully open the door, look for anything that might be damaged or broken inside of it from being forced open too hard because most locks do not allow for much force since they usually have some kind of spring mechanism that prevents people from forcing them open too hard due to their springy nature. You can also check if anyone was inside of your house when someone forced their way into your house or if anything is missing like money, jewelry, important documents, etc. If anything is missing that should not have been taken by anyone who should not have been inside of your house when someone forced their way into your house, then you should report the incident to the police or call your local locksmiths.
What Are The Best Scissors For Opening Locks?

These are the second type of scissors that people use to open locks. They have a blade on one side and a handle on the other side with a locking mechanism built-in that prevents them from being opened too hard (a spring mechanism), but they’re still easy enough to open locks with once they’re opened since there is no springy nature in them as well so you can use them to quickly break down your own lock if you need to get into your own house or office.

Security Tips For Opening Locked Doors
- Lock or unlock your doors with the correct key, whether that’s a master key or a deadbolt lock. The best way to open a door is to make sure it’s locked with the correct key. If you don’t know what type of lock is on your door, look at the lock and find out what kind it is and then check to see if there’s a “dual-lock” option available which means that you can choose either the regular deadbolt lock or the double-cylinder deadbolt lock depending on what kind of security you need for your home.
- If possible, try to find out who has a master key for your house. This will help you figure out who might have a duplicate key for your locks (which is illegal) and also give you another way to get back into your home if someone else tries to break into it while you’re gone.
- Contact an experienced locksmith who can open any type of door. It doesn’t matter how complicated or old your locks are, any professional locksmith can open them and get you inside again quickly and safely even if they have never seen this type of lock before in their life!
- When calling an expert locksmith, ask them how much they charge per hour. This will tell you how long they’ll need to work on your door and if you’re happy with the price, that’s a good idea because it’s going to cost you more money to hire someone who’s going to take longer than necessary.
