locksmith here, if you look at the latch or tongue of that knob set fitted to the block of timber, on the latches flat side there is a small semi cylindrical pin. Even the cheapest locks have this feature these days, it is a deadlocking mechanism. If fitted correctly, it will stay pushed in by the door jam while the rest of the latch slips into the hole in the frame. It must be fitted correctly for this to be the case for as of it slips into the hole in the door frame with the rest of the tongue from incorrect fittment this ‘shimming’ trick will work. If the lock is fitted correctly you won’t open the door this way as the latch will become deadlocked on closing meaning no external force outside of the lock will move the latch/tongue in. It will be locked into the door frame. If you can open an external door with this method, get a locksmith out to fix it. If adjusted to a correct fitment, no one can gain entry to your home or property this easily. Cheers

When the the bolt is properly engaged on the strike plate, the anti-jimmy (the small thing on the back of the bolt) prevents the latch from being depressed on modern locks made since the 90's. If the lock is improperly installed then both the bolt and the Jimmy go into the strike plate or the Jimmy sits to far away to properly engage. Try it yourself by pressing in the Jimmy while the door is open then try and press the bolt.

People freaking out ought to stop a minute and realize that they have potentially just been made aware of a dangerous security flaw they previously did not know existed - and that this man has provided a method to quickly fix. He didn't invent crap locks, he showed you something important you did not know. Be angry with the manufacturers who play on your assumptions and the fact you, apparently, are not as detail-oriented as you ought to be, and perhaps lean toward an unconstructive reactionary response to new problems - a mindset demonstrated to have been used by history's great tyrants to drape themselves in power. You are dragging us all down, with your with-hunting mindsets and support of globally significant security policies that go along with it. We are not your enemies, we're just living differently and you are being sold a pack of lies that we are out to get you, in the end only to further the greedy despotism of a comparatively few people who have demonstrated already their shocking, and ultimately homicidal methods (if that's what it takes, and believe me, ultimately that is what it takes) that include passively letting disease ravage those whom they've sworn to protect and the act of aggressive warmaking including the targeting of civilians. Please, choose democracy, choose life and consider that you may have been wrong about Trump, his idol Putin and most of all, yourself. And no, that didn't feel good or I'd do it all the time. It's awful and we're just as scared as you. America cannot become an authoritarian power, you know that much I'll venture.

It popped open because the small auxiliary latch was too far into the strike, or there was no auxiliary latch at all. The small "auxiliary" latch on the knob's latchbolt is supposed to hit the striker, but not go into the striker's hole. If the small latch goes into the hole, then the latchbolt is vulnerable to what you just witnessed. If the auxiliary latch stays on the striker's face and depressed, it won't allow the latchbolt to be pushed in.

You can prevent this method of shimming a door from working by PROPERLY installing the strike plate on the doorjamb. Install the strike plate so when the door is shut tight, the dead lock plunger (the small tubular thing on the flat part of the plunger) is not allowed to fall into the plunger hole of the strike plate, with the plunger. The deadlock plunger remains pushed into the door (held by the strike plate when the door is shut) preventing the plunger from being able to be "shimmed". It is an easy adjustment to make and most builders don't even understand how to "properly" adjust a door strike plate. You can see how this works by just pushing the deadlock plunger (by itself) into the door and hold it there. Now try to push the plunger back into the door. It won't move. Let go of the deadlock plunger... now you can push the plunger in.

These types of basically "minor secure" locks are mostly on inside /room to room doors and not intended to be held fat for self protection much.They are good for their purpose which is to establish a modicum of personal privacy in a dwelling...bathrooms etc .to keep people from just being able to walk in easily This tip is highly useful for parents of children who get themselves accidentally locked in a bathroom etc and cat get out.. .Remember to use quality secure deadbolts ( I personally prefer with inside and outside key access) on entry and garage access doors .An don't cheap out when it comes to entry doors to your home.. heavy quality constructed sold wooden doors with minimal window features may prevent or ward off a burglary of your home Thieves will seek easier pickings if they must work too hard or take too much risk at being seen .

Your video explains well in detail to enable us to understand the mechanism in order to better execute the method. Thank you again.

This trick is so old, as a locksmith, we used this trick way back in the 60's in the UK. As you can see, the key only locks the movement of the knob, not the action of the lock. If your house is fitted with this type of security, I guarantee that you don't own your house. Otherwise change your locks. Bye and large, Insurance companies will not insure your house with this kind of security. Especially, on outside doors. Secondly, the use of door knobs, is not a UK practice, a person using a door like that, would constantly be hurting their hands pulling the door closed, unless the Lock/Latch was at least 3 1/2 inches away from the lock side of the door, as you can see not possible with this door. As a result, door handles are considered to be a better choice rather than knobs. Thirdly, any would be intruder, would just simply break the glass in this door, to gain entry.

If your door is adjusted correctly this won’t work. Pertaining to the end with the deadbolt. the bottom lock, that you slide the plastic on, to open it. That actually has a small pin along side it, that’s the safety. When the door is adjusted correctly the pin is pushed in like an 1/8” when it’s closed. This prevents the credit card trick or bottle trick from working. If you push it in the 1/8” and try to push the lock in it won’t move.

Some had commented that it wouldn't work on a deadbolt, so my response was that you can not close the door behind yourself and accidentally lock yourself out and somehow manage to engage the deadbolt in the process. In the setting pictured in the video, a thief need only know where to buy a window hammer.

When I managed apartment buildings I used to get 1am or later calls about being locked out "accidentally" {mostly drunk}... Within 3 months I had replaced all of the keyed knobsets with entry handles (unkeyed) and deadbolts and sent a letter to all residents stating that lockout calls are now $25 9-5, $50 5-9p, and $100 9p-9a. In the 18 months after I did that I got 2 or 3 calls, one at 3am. You can't accidentally lock yourself out with a deadbolt. You can still loose your key though. Enter the Kwickset Titan series with quick change cores. (New ones have quick change keys)

Most locking latches are like the one in the mockup door section, specifically engineered to defeat this trick..... They have that little half cylinder beside the latch. When the door is closed, the striker plate holds the little half-cylinder back, and the lock mechanism will not allow the latch to slide back as it did to allow the door to close. At the end of the video, he is trying to show us how the plastic will push in the latch on the mockup, but it seems not to be going in. He likes to ignore that. This trick only works for cheap latches without the half-cylinder protection mechanism.
