When you are running through your house trying to get all the things done that happen to be on your list you can make some errors. Too often you are walking out of a room and shut the door only to realize that you locked the door! That is one reason that you may end up locked out of your bedroom. Maybe a young child unknowingly will lock the door and shut it which means that you are now stuck trying to get back in. Whatever the reason you are stuck out of your bedroom there is hope. Of course the options to get back in will be simpler if the lock or key is not damaged but from user error. If the lock or even the key has been damaged then you will need to use the services of a locksmith to gain access to the room and have it replaced. If you don’t need to replace the lock but gain access to the room you might be able to try getting in on your own. If you are unsure about what to do you need to use a locksmith so that you do not cause more damage to the lock. Knowing what type of lock you are dealing with will be the first step in getting in.
Texan Lock & Key Outlines the Different Types of Bedroom Locks & How to Gain Access When Locked Out
Un-keyed Handle: This is a handle that many people have on their bedroom and interior doors. The handle does not have any locking mechanism at all and you can open and close them as you please. They are on this list because you can still get locked out. Not in the sense that someone has manually locked it but the handle might malfunction. The great thing is that the use of a stiff card does work in this instance. You can wiggle the card down and disengage the mechanism that holds the door shut. You may need to have the doorknob and handle replaced.
Indoor Privacy Lock: If you have an interior door that you want to offer some privacy to that room then you most likely have a privacy lock. The lock has a button that can be pressed that is in the inside of the door and on the outside there is a single hole. No key hole but a standard straight pin will do the trick. The button offers some form of privacy but the ease in opening it can be done with any item that is small enough to fit in that hole. You can decompress the release allowing the door to be opened.
Key Door Knob: This is one of the most secure options that people may use on their interior door. The door can be locked form the inside with a latch. The only want to get in is a key just like the kind you use on your front door lock. That means you need that exact key to get in and not just anything will do. This lock will require the help of a locksmith to get you back in and have a new key made if you lose it.
