Outward or inward opening?
Outward? Shove knife or similar homemade tool. Pull door pins. Inward? Credit card. All else fails? Break knob off and actuate mechanism by hand. |

Use a credit card to push in at an angle, between the bolt and strikeplate.
May have to push the door a little at first and then pull slightly towards you while inserting card. Works on some locks. |

Quoted: Dang it. Mother in law has a door to her crawl space that has a 25 year old, keyed door knob on it. Something happened with one of the pins and, while I can insert the key, I can't unlock the door. I tried taking this hinges off but the freaking screws stripped out. Any way I can get in this door without destroying the door? |

Will do, we already tried WD40 to no avail......why in the sweet name of all that is good and Holy she locks this door, I'll never know. Probably the same reason she risks life and limb of other people to do a pull up off a ladder each winter to go tie off her whirly bird vents. Same drill each spring to untie them. |

Spray a bunch of lubricant in the lock mechanism and juggle the key. Should get the tumblers moving.

If you can get to the hinge screws you can go get some screw grabbing removal tools. Forget what they are called but they are common and just lock into the top of the screw by having aggressive opposite direction cutting threads.

Break knob off with a hammer or pipewrench, pipewrench is less likely to wreck the door. Pull the slide, throw it all away, buy a knob that doesn't lock.

It's not meant for security, mainly to keep raccoons out. One of those western barn door type hinges. No idea why she locks it other than thinking that it is more secure. The insane thought processes of an old--but otherwise wonderful--woman. |
