As you may have seen, the easiest way to keep from being locked out is to have a spare key! And even though picking a lock may take a lot of time and skill to do – it is a fun skill to have.
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.
The videos below show some of the ways that you can pick locks.

This may not be the fastest or easiest way to get in but it is satisfying to beat the lock.
