Interior door privacy locks often become locked if you have kids (or prankster friends) around. These locks can be easily opened with the right kind of tool and a little bit of knowledge.  The following videos cover the most common types of interior door locks.

Grandpa TJ: I’ve located videos which deal with many of the types of lockouts you may run into at home. If you are handy with some simple tools and can get to a hardware store, these videos will give you enough information to get the job done for far less cost than a locksmith.

Remember, you can get personalized help including video chat during your repair if you need it. Visit Grandpa TJ’s Inner Circle for more information on how to schedule a live consultation.
