It’s happened to almost everyone: After a long day at work you look forward to coming home. But first you have to run some errands. And, of course, it’s rush hour, so you’re stuck in LA’s infamous traffic. As you drive from work to the store, you remember your sanctuary, your home. When you finally get out of your car with a handful of groceries, you look through your pocket only to find that you don’t have your key. After a fit of frustration, you’re left with two options: call a locksmith service in LA or break into your home. Let’s say you don’t want to wait for a locksmith or spend money, so you choose to break in. Here are some methods to try. Use a Door Window •
Look for a door window which will help you enter. Once you’ve chosen the window, borrow a screwdriver from your neighbor if you can’t find one on hand (hopefully your neighbors will be home). Ideally, the screwdriver will be a slotted screwdriver, but do the best with what you have. Insert the screwdriver through the bottom of the window pane, applying an upward force to remove the window pane. Try your best not to cause too much damage to the frame. Stick your hand through the opening and try to reach the handle and open the door.
Use a Credit Card •
Reach in your wallet and find a plastic card. You may want to use a laminated one because those tend to be more flexible. Insert your plastic card between the door and the frame, aligning the card with the smallest part of the lock. Push the card and bend it away from the doorknob. Chances are you won’t be successful on your first attempt, so try again.
The best outcome of breaking into your house is that you will successfully break in without causing too much damage. However, it is more likely that you won’t be able to get into your house. Even worse, your neighbors may call authorities because they think you’re a burglar. Avoid damage and confusion and call the most reliable locksmith service in LA. With locksmiths available twenty-four hours a day, there is no reason you should have to break into your house.
