How to unlock us apartment door with push lock.
The automated door has two small prongs on the exterior.
With many older doors you need to pressure the door as you fiddle with the key as the warped door is bending the lock at an awkward angle.
To unlock this door from the inside the procedure is reversed.
You simply need a straight stiff tool to unlock it try a straightened paperclip or a small screwdriver.
Use as much force as you can without losing your balance once the door opens.
You may also need to tilt the knife a little till you find the suitable angle for moving the lock.
Inside is a small button that needs to be pushed to unlock the door.
Up down toward you and away from you.
Once you are in your apartment you can open the lock from the inside and replace the old batteries with new double aas or whatever your door takes.
This lock type is typically engaged by pushing the door knob in towards the door and turning it slightly in one direction.
Push in and turn in the other direction.
Apply pressure on the lock using knife and push it back in the door.
Push or pull the door as you turn the key.
To bump a lock the bump key is inserted into the keyway and pressure is applied via a hammer or a screwdriver.
Older doors may still come equipped with a third type of privacy lock.
The pressure exerted on the bump key causes the key pins to push the driver pins above the shear line.
This will give the automated door lock enough juice for you to type in your code and get in.
Insert the knife between the space in the door and the frame where the lock is situated since knives are thin it should easily slide in between the lock and the frame.
