Different methods depending on the situation

Opening a slammed apartment or house depends on the specific situation, whether it is a slammed or locked door. Here are different methods commonly used by a professional locksmith to open a slammed door:



For a slammed door:


    Plastic card or radio method: A locksmith inserts a flexible plastic card between the door jamb and the latch striker. Using a push and twist technique, he manages to swipe the card to unlock the door.


    Stainless steel rod method. The rod allows the opening of the door slammed from the bottom of the port. The rod slides under the door allowing, thanks to a traction wire, to operate the door handle.



For a locked door:


    Picking method: Locksmiths use special picking tools to manipulate the pins and internal locking mechanisms of the lock. Using a combination of pressure and precise manipulation, the locksmith manages to unlock the lock and open the door without using the original key.



    Forcing the lock: In some situations where picking is not possible or effective, a locksmith may use forcing tools to break the lock. This method is usually used as a last resort and may require the lock to be replaced later.


    Cylinder Drilling The cylinder drilling method is a technique used by professional locksmiths to open a door when other methods do not work or are not applicable. However, it should be noted that this method usually damages the cylinder of the lock and then requires its replacement.




Here's how the cylinder piercing method generally works:


    The locksmith selects a suitable drill bit and inserts it into a power drill. Using constant pressure, the locksmith begins to drill a hole directly through the cylinder of the lock, usually where the key is inserted. While drilling, the locksmith is careful not to damage other components of the lock or the door itself. Once the cylinder is drilled, the locksmith can use a special tool to rotate the locking mechanism and open the door .After opening the door, the damaged cylinder is removed and replaced with a new cylinder, which is then matched to the existing key or a new key.



    Replacement of the lock cylinder: If after opening the door cylinder is damaged or destroyed, the locksmith can replace the lock cylinder. This involves removing the old cylinder and replacing it with a new one, which allows the door to be opened with a new key.


It is important to note that these methods must be performed by a professional and qualified locksmith to ensure safe and damage-free opening. Additionally, the method used will depend on the complexity of the lock and the specific circumstances of each situation.
