I'm not sure how effective this is but I've heard it works.

Take a tennis ball, and cut a small hole. Put the hole over the kjey hole, and push really hard until the door unlocks.

Apparently, the air pressure from the ball forces the key to unlcok.

Probably doens't work though

You could just use a plunger instead of cutting up a tennis ball if that were true 😛

Edit: Locks aren't airtight afaik, it'll just leak out through one of the many areas it opens to.

That why you keep pushing and releasing.

Even IF the air pressure could push the pins in the lock tumbler into position (which it can't), how do you plan on rotating the tumbler when the key hole is covered by the tennis ball?

This idea fails the common sense test on about a hundred different levels.

But this is ATOT, so it HAS to make perfectly good sense...😉
