Depending on the type of door lock that you encounter, the technique and methods may vary, so let’s take a look at what we are working with and what type of knives work the best for this skill.
METHOD 1 – SIMPLY STICKING IT IN
For most locks, this method won’t work. However, for the more un-secure door locks among us, it will work wonders. May apartments and houses cut corners by getting cheap locks which is what makes this method effective. This method requires a Swiss army knife or some other type of relatively non-wide blade. The reason that you can’t use your Rambo knife for this method is that it needs to be able to fit inside of the keyhole.
METHOD 2 – RAMBO STYLE
This is our favorite method for picking a lock with a knife because it requires a big ole Bowie Knife and we own lots of cool knives. In fact, the bigger the knife, the better for this one – even a machete would work wonders! This method is similar to that of the Credit Card Method that we show you in one of our other how to guides.
METHOD 3 – WITH A LITTLE HELP
The third method is a bit different in that you will need one additional tool in order to complete it. Similar to that in Method 1, a smaller thinner knife is desired for this like a butter knife or Swiss Army. This method combines traditional lock picking with Method one to get the door open. The knife itself will be used as a tension wrench and you will have to find or fashion some form of picking tool from the materials around you. You can see the various types of lock pick shapes that you can choose from here: Lock Picking Tool Types And Uses.

Sometimes, on some doors, you can get the knife blade into the space between the door and the door frame and work the bolt back into the door enough to open the door.
It is surprising how effective a good kick can be if the door opens away from you. If that is the case you keep your knife in its sheath and pick the lock with your boot.

Yeah, sorry, I am a “locksport enthusiast” 😉 and I gotta tell ya conventional locks don’t work that way.
With a knife, I’d go after door trim and try to slide the bolt, or just chew through the door or whatever, or pry… but a big fat blade knife is too thick to use as a pick, and too large to use as the torque bar. Of course, that said, if you could jam the knife in hard enough, and twist it hard enough, you might be able to break the barrel seal and destroy the lock.
But that’s not very subtle, and us lockpicky-folk are all about subtle ;-).
