I came up with a way to lock a door by modifying a dinner fork. Some folks may have seen my earlier video on my channel called "portable door lock", which I made from flat 1/8" steel . The Fork Lock, however, is way easier to make. This lock is very useful when wanting to add a little extra security to a motel room, public restrooms (which often have broken locks), or on any interior, or exterior door.
This video saved me from an abusive situation 4 years ago. Praise God for you. I pray that the Lord brings blessing and favor and peace into your life. In Jesus' mighty name i pray amen
Thanks for the prayer, Delilah! God bless you too!
Delilah-hope you're safe now and all is well.
Stay safe, sister. Blessings to you too. 🙏
Maybe call the cops?

"This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today we're going to attempt to pick open a fork"
love it!
haha Click out of 2 . Slot 3 is binding
Waiting to see LPL open this with a Master Lock.
@@Nathan-ot9eu veery funny!! Can't say what i like more, the video or the comments :-))))
A must have missed that one as I've never seen the lock picking lawyer open up a bathroom door that's heavily wrapped
How heartbreaking to read the comments especially, our precious children. 😞.
Thank you for trying to help people Phil. Love to you! 🇦🇺🙏🏻
Thank you so much for that comment! It really means a lot to me!
Hmmmmm........Very clever, that is! May the forks be with you.
wow!
E.PLUMBUS UNUM and this comment made me stop so I guess you were the fork in the road

Perfect for hotel room safety. I don't know how many rooms I've stayed in that had no additional lock besides the key card or crappy chain locks that are barely bolted to the wall and door.
exactly! Thanks for watching and commenting, Jamie
I went to the hardware store and asked for "Fork Handles" the guy behind the counter gave me Four Candles.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one, Dennis! Now that's my kind of humor!
I cant claim that as my own. It came from Ronny Barker(one of Britains greatest comedy tallent from the last 50 years) there will undoubtedly be a youtube video of it. I dont know if you have seen it, if you have not I recomend you to try and search it out ... perhaps search "Barker Fork Handles" .. you will not be dissapointed.
I'll have to look that one up for sure! Still....... I have to give you credit for the good placement of that joke!
Ok....I just watched the skit..... that dude is hilarious. A lot of good play on words. Thanks for the laughs, my friend Dennis!
All i Can say is Ronnie Barker is a legend ... almost anything he has ever done is comedy gold, its a damn shame he is not alive ... His body of work is masive and it is all awsome .. If you liked the Skit, look up more from him, you will not be dissapointed ... All the best to you Phil C ;)
Honey, did you see where that fork, a family heirloom, is from when they came to America in 1787 ? :P
hahahaha!
Jajajaja i knew there was gonna be a joke here you made my day🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes, I sold it at the flea market. But no worries... I know who bought it!
😂
" what's that sweetheart? I couldn't hear you since the door is closed..."
Anyone from the ghetto knows how to do this, and while it may not be the most secure, when you have no other locks, this can be a life saver.
good call
Though a door may have an existing lock already, this is great for extra privacy/protection as his description says. Many forget to read the info. in the descriptions and leave questions that the description has an answer for. Great idea.
THAT IS CORRECT! Luis, you are awesome! So glad you dropped in. Hope you like my other videos as well, my friend
@@PhilCrockett yes Sir, I like these types of videos. I will check out your other videos for more ideas. Now stick a FORK in me, I’m done. 😂
HA! Yes, I'm done as well. Been a good Lord's day for me. I'm hitting the hay. Thanks for the convo.
Furthermore, existing locks often can easily unlocked by inserting a thin narrow object into the door handle hole. Alternatively, one can insert a credit card like object into the door edge which forces the lock to unlock. This makeshift lock however would indeed require far more effort to open.
this is good when you are staying in hotels in countries like Vietnam or Mexico where you never know who has a key to your hotel room.
That is a good example!

Why do you have to point fingers at any county ! Anything could happen anyway at anytime !

THANKS SO MUCH!!! I get so much hate mail, that I have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming, when I get a nice comment like yours! seriously! YOU GIVE ME HOPE! LOVE YA!!!!! also....... THANKS FOR SUBBING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! My garden rake broke recently and I’m too poor to afford a new one! This video was very helpful! Thank you very much!
hahahaha
I’m probably not the first person to notice that fork looks like a terrific back scratcher!
And makes a great butt scratcher
2 years ago after watching this i did this because my parents took my lock away and replaced it with a normal door knob. My parents dont understand that i needed privacy. Thank you though for this tutorial :)
Glad it helped, Luke! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Works perfectly. Now I can finally get some sleep without me father barging in the door annoying the piss out of me. Sleeping with the headphones on :) gn
Do you have an accent? Or it might just be the way I'm reading this in my mind
.....9 months ago, oops
excellent
Mia Beardy LMAO i read it with an accent too 💀💀💀💀
Same, he's doing it to annoy me. So Inconsiderate and I feel no have personal space. :
Thought this was just something you could try out for funsies from the thimbnail, but then I realized this is a really good way to protect yourself easily! Really do hope this video goes out to those who need it (30 mil views, at least one of them might need it. Thanks for making this)
Thanks for watching and commenting
For the people that do not have any tools at home, you can bend the handle by putting it against a table and bend the teeth with a pair of tweezers or if you don't have tweezers you can try with strong scissors but be careful. And if the handle it's too big and gets stuck easily, bend one of the teeth backward and insert the handle there.
I hope this helps someone.
thanks for the tip!
It is never too spoon to have a bright idea,,,,it can save your knife!
Cooking up those puns, I see
+officiallynrgxlr8tr Actually, I am just waiting and expecting the best joke a my whole knife...

The only thing better would be some kind of rolling pin design.

Tongs very much!
remige2006 lol
remige2006 😂😂😂
a cheap way to secure a door.. thanks for the tip!
Odie, thanks for the positive comment!
Odie Reyes so true
I knew exactly what you were going to do when you measured the fork, but what a brilliant idea.
Thanks!
Make sure that you have 2 ...4" screws going from the striker plate into the framing so the door can't be pushed open
Always a good idea to change those screws out! Thanks for the tip!
Richard Sheppard
Deplorable Canadian
You are right.
Only when the police or fire man come, they open EVERYTHING and fast, breaking the door....
SO true. If the striker plate or frame are in pretty bad shape, the lock is basically useless.
Perfect for zoom meetings when you dont want anyone to come in haha
good call!
So you won't get busted like that one dude
thanks this is a good idea cause my sister always goes to my room wen I am sleeping to steal my stuff now I could be save
bet she doesn't try that now, since it's been 5 years ago.
I went from thinking "what an odd but neat little contraption" to "damn I actually relate to a lot of these comments"
I recently bought a new doorknob, with a key, and I guess the TH-cam bots picked up on that and recommended me this. Solid video overall.
THANKS! Glad you like my idea! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Also for privacy or 'time to react to somebody trying to open the door' a door wedge jammed in tight on the inside could also help. Both the for k and a wedge good for hotel room doors where you won't be the only one with a key to the door!
I like to use this mainly for a privacy lock.....such as public bathrooms with broken locks.
I was looking to buy something for door security/door lock and found this video, I just save some money 😊. Thanks for sharing this great idea👍🌻💐
This works great for a privacy lock, but don't use it in the place of a deadbolt.
You can also use a wooden wedge under the door. .awesome video and thanks for sharing your tips👍
Great tip! Hope my other videos are just as useful to you!
Wooden or rubber wedges are only good on carpet/textures floors- anything with a smooth polish allows the wedge to slide
You can also convert a door lock into a fork, which is handy if you have used up your last fork by making a door lock. All you need is a crucible, some coal, a forge, and a fork shaped clay mold. Viola! Allow the fork to cool sufficiently before using.
You and I could hang out, mi! I love your sarcasm!..... it's how I live my life!
-if you don't have a vice, get vice-grips - clamp the fork - go outside to steetside curb - stick fork end of clamps over curb, and stand on the vice-grips - use hammer to bend fork
good idea
Pretty cool, but honestly, imagine your door knob getting broken, you're hiding from Jason, but it's okay! cause you just have to grab a fork from the kitchen and you're hella lucky enough to have a vise machine nearby to bend your fork and then process to make your diy locker. If it was a video game we're dead already. Advise, make one now and have it as an emergency, actually make a few of them. Thanks, I really enjoyed learning something useful. Very interesting.
I like your crazy way of saying that you don't "get it".
The lock in the video is meant to be a portable privacy lock. I use it during my travels on bathroom doors, bedrooms, and offices. The door in the video is just a prop to show how it works. If you want to buy a portable travel lock, here’s one that looks pretty good…. www.amazon.com/dp/B07Z63CDZK/... Thanks for watching and commenting
Thank u Phil, my mother has recently proven that i am not safe even with my door locked, i can sleep easy bc of u :)
Happy to help
FYI: What he is calling 'prongs' are actually called *'Tines'*
Yes indeed. I get a lot of criticism for that. When I think of tines, my mind goes straight to deer antlers. I can't help it. Unfortunately, I'm not very smart. After all, I"m making locks out of forks instead of curing cancer. lol. Thanks for watching.
Put it this way.. If it your project you can call it whatever you like.
Oh my gosh... I almost repeated his same mistake, thank goodness for your knowledge and courage to share this invaluable information! Don't know what the masses would do without your shared knowledge, thank you!...
30 million views and over 8 years old and you respond to nearly every new comment, now thats dedication
Indeed! I love my subscribers a lot! Hope you like my channel!
this is so cool there is just one problem my door is opening the other way.
Look on the bright side, ... you can now lock someone IN!
Phil Crockett lol I'm dying
HyperGamerWM use a left handed fork
I'm dealing with the same problem lol. Show us the way, TH-cam goes! Lmao
COME OUT OF THE CLOSET THEN ! LOL 🤣
If you don't have a vice or a hacksaw you can just bend the tines of the fork over right there at the door catch and use another fork to lock it in place. I assume many women and children in situations prone to domestic violence don't have access to tools.
Great idea! Thanks for watching and commenting!
FYI the Crazy Russian Hacker just featured this lock on a video he did called 6 fork life hacks. He never gives credit on where he gets his stuff, just makes videos of him doing things he sees others do. Thought you might like to know.
+Jerus Barnett Ya.... I saw. That how the world works. Do a me a favor, and drop my Fork Lock link on his channel as a comment. Thanks my brother!
I know another bedtime hacker on TH-cam and he said crazy Russian hacker or stall so much stuff from his videos you can uploaded a video about the same stuff the next day
+Vinish It wouldn't be so bad if he gave credit. However, even though it's disrespectful, it's totally legal. Therefore, I can't complain.....(too much). Thanks for your comment. Please drop my fork lock link on his vid. Thanks.
+Phil Crockett not even he just needs to make his own shit
I use to use my 100 lb dumbbell at the base of the door..lol. Great idea
That's a great idea!
That looks like a good travel solution.
You are one of the rare intelligent people that seem to understand the point of this lock! You give me some hope for our future! I"M NOT KIDDING! Thanks for the comment, my friend!
Thank you. This could be really helpful for a lot of people. Peace.
You're welcome!
If only I Knew that as a teenager. Thanks
ikr!
Someone:
Thanks for the video. It was life-changing.
Now I have 2 sons and 3 daughters.
hahahaha
How about a "Do not disturb" sign, or fostering a healthy sense of boundaries in your family?
Right
These comments show how insane some people treat those closest to them. I hope all you guys stay safe.
ikr!
everyone is here telling these cool stories about how this lock has saved their life, i'm here because i'm a writer and i needed a way for my character to lock a door lol
ya..... well..... this is designed to be a portable privacy lock, not a deadbolt. However, ANY lock can be compromised, so.....I guess this is as good as any.
The only downside to this is that this only protects door from being swung open. It will not stop someone determined to get in. The weakest point in the door isn't the side with the lock, it is the side with the hinges. A door like the one demonstrated is hollow so locks are not that effective anyways. Front doors are generally metal or fiberglass and insulated however the frames are wood and so is the frame of the door. The hinge screws are quite small and very easy to strip out, a few kicks could do it. The safest door would be an industrial steel door with a steel frame, however even those can be opened with as little as 5 swings with a 5lb sledge hammer. If you are concerned about people breaking into your home through the front door my advice would be to get an AR-15 and learn how to use it. After that, a steel framed steel door would be a good additional security step because all it will do is buy you a few more seconds to get your AR-15. Home invasions happen fast. Never leave your windows unlocked and open at night unless they are blocked so they cannot be opened up any more. I had a neighbors daughter lock the mother out of the house and she went into panic mode because the toddler couldn't figure out how to unlock the door. She had one window open. I was able to get entry into her house in 2 minutes without damaging anything using only a butter-knife and then I unlocked the door. Within a month they moved away. I used to build houses and work in demolition so this is how I know how easy it is to break into houses. Even if my windows are locked I still have them blocked so someone can't even get an arm into my house. Never give someone an easy way in. If I'm particularly concerned about people coming into my house I'll put bags full of recycleable materials like cans at the door way so if the door is opened at night the cans will fall down the stairs. Houses can be broken into silently so any kind of system to make noise is a great system. This is why dogs are so great, they bark at everything. Security camera's are also great but there is lots of security camera footage of people having their houses broken into and the home owner needing to fight for their life even getting into a shootout in their own home because the criminals will come armed during home invasions. Best to have yourself a good home defense plan in which you protect your family from harm with a firearm. Remember the guy that broke into the house and stared at the kids then kidnapped and murdered one of the the kids? What good did the security video do? You need to hear that someone is in your house and you need to be able to defend yourself against multiple armed intruders. Get some guns and protect your kin.
Wow
@@PhilCrockett Yup, that steel door I mentioned that I took out with 5 swings was hung in a cinder block wall too. Doors, mainly steel doors just buy you the time you need to get your gun. Hollow core doors like interior doors don't protect you from anything but peoples eyes.
A guy can kick/shoulder a door like that in about 0.5 seconds, the wood that holds jam[latch] is about 19mm[3/4”] having some tin plated metal just stops a child not a man from entering, meaning if you need to do this to a fork you got a reason that you trying to lock it, therefore one can assume its a guy trying to get in, this would not stop a guy.
The lock in the video is meant to be a portable privacy lock. I use it during my travels on bathroom doors, bedrooms, and offices. Thanks for watching and commenting
Well …. That’s kinda neat but I mean if someone can come up with a vice and a hacksaw they can come up with a real latch lock lol
it's definitely nice having tools.
Well played. You earned this upvote.
Thanks, Keith! I hope you like my other videos on my channel as well.
Another item to add to my purse incase another public bathroom lock doesn’t work. Thank you
THAT'S CORRECT! You are one of the rare individuals that understands the point of this! Your comment is much appreciated, Autumn!
Very cool! BTW, in fork parlance, those prongs are known as "tines"
Thanks for the info!
Prong: noun - each of 2 or more projecting pointed parts at the end of a fork. Synonym - tine.
Maybe invest in a decent dictionary, if not education, before posting peurile troll comments on YT.
An update version off what us natives been using since 1950 s, a butter knife!🤪🤪🤪😂😳😂😂
There's more than one way to butter a cat!
since it requires the use of a hack saw and a bench vice and a hammer, it means the person already has access to resources like that. That means this is something that must be prepared beforehand. If that is the case, why not just get locking handle and switch it out?
Excellent
That's a great idea to keep kids or that husband that's on punishment out if they try picking the lock from outside, but it doesn't keep it from being kicked in.🤣🤣
true
Is it Hulk proof?
+congsta Only before he turns green and before his shirt rips...... but after that...... NOTHING CAN STOP HIM!!!!! Not even the DINNER FORK DOOR LOCK!!!!!
HULK SMASH ! ! !
When I travel using motels I always carry a alarmed door wedge and door handle security poll, poll end fits around the the door handle and extends tightly to the floor. Both sell for under 10 dollars and both fit in my luggage easily..feel very safe with them. .I feel much safer in my motorhome, have security system..
Sounds like a good idea to me
For $10 you can buy a door knob with a lock!
No bending cutting or ruining forks! 😂
indeed! I have a video on that too! However, portable locks like this one (for travel) is a little bit pricer. I put a link in my description if you are interested in purchasing a portable lock.
Could always energize the doorknob with mains power
I like the way you think.
This is awesome! And perfect for places where more security or privacy is needed but extra locks aren't allowed.
glad you like this! I use it on bathrooms, bedrooms, and office doors when I travel. Fits in your pocket, and works great for what it's designed for!
@@PhilCrockett Those sound like excellent uses! 👍
Pity most rooms don’t have a vice, hammer and hacksaw if you need it in a pinch
hmmm........
my forks are already at 90 degree angle, as stops me from poking my eye when eating.
and now i can lock myself inn for safety reasons. Kewl
Thanks for showing.
Perfect
Have a good neighbor. Fork lock is here.
excellent! However, this lock is meant to be a portable privacy lock.
@@PhilCrockett It's just a joke. I do like the idea. It's very creative.
So a dinner fork, eh? A breakfast fork not suitable? Also, I'll just go out and buy a vice, a hacksaw and a grinder as well and maybe a hammer but I might have one of those. I can see the flaw already when you jiggled the door. Fact is the fork handle might stay in place because it's got ridges on it which makes it stick between the tines of the fork. If the handle were smooth, and not getting caught on the tines, its possible if someone jiggled the door enough, the handle will fall out.
ya..... probably not for you then.. Thanks for watching and commenting, though.
4 thin steel fork prongs can't keep out an angry man. One kick is enough to swing that door open.
Neither can any lock.........
When you travel, take your large vice, a workbench, a hacksaw, and a hammer. Voilá !
That's a great idea! or...... Just make one before you travel like smart people do. lol!
thanks for the tip, now I know how to keep my wife out of my room.
Perfect!
If I'm ever 16 again and want to keep mom out of my room I will use this....
you GET IT! Now that I'm an adult, I use it during my travels on bathroom doors, bedrooms, and offices. thanks for commenting!
I don't take a vice or hacksaw to any hotel with me and I guess most people don't have them at home either.
I guess it depends on where you live, and your culture. "country people" are very self-reliant. We have plenty of tools, and know how to do many things on our own.
Example: I was in New York for a vacation, and stayed with a friend who live in a high-rise. The toilet got clogged, and I asked for the plunger. He said "no one does that here. They call maintenance".
I couldn't believe it.... but hey... we're all from different cultures.
Looks like it could be pretty easily vibrated out of place by jiggling the door
The lock in the video is meant to be a portable privacy lock. I use it during my travels on bathroom doors, bedrooms, and offices. 100% of the time, people have not tried to compromise it when they found the bathroom door was locked. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thx. Wasn't trying to diminish the simple practicality or creativity.
didn't take it that way. I truly appreciate your feedback. Hope you like my other videos as well, K L!
Great work, great 🤔🤔thought .
Thanks a lot 😊, Linda!
If you can donthis your latch hole and door have massive tolerances. Wouldnt work in my country. Helpful for travelling abroad though ... IF you can get it through customs.
Thanks for your comment, Norman!
What a fabulous idea, thank you.... :)
You are so welcome!
A new deadbolt is cheaper than getting a hacksaw and a vice .
I can't afford buying deadbolts for all the public gas station bathrooms and the various cabin bedrooms, as well as the office doors that I lock with my portable fork lock. But you are correct..... one deadbolt is cheaper than the saw and vice.
@@PhilCrockett good enough. Like the ingenuity
Thanks!
Fantastic idea sir. Well done.
Thanks for taking the time to give positive feedback, David! also..... THANKS FOR SUBBING!!!!!!!! once again!
@@PhilCrockett You are very welcome sir. Well done.
@@PhilCrockett I heard about a trap made by the IRA, a guerilla army here in Ireland that fought the British during the Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) and in the Troubles Civil War in Northern Ireland (1969 - about 1991 to somewhere in the early 00's, it's hard to say exactly when that war ended).
Anyway, I don't know how true this is, but apparently a tactic was to take the glass bulb, off a glass blub, and fill it with petrol (gasoline) or presumably maybe an other type of explosive liquid or powder, like napalm or dynamite or a more modern high explosive powder.
Then put the filled glass bulb back together.
Then replace this bulb with your enemies light bulb while they are away.
This gives you an idea of the level of hatred that this device was apparently used. Presumably on a light close to the light switch. But very indiscriminate, as you presumably don't know exactly who's going to turn on that light switch or who is with them.
Sorry, from here on out is just a rant about how much I hate the evils that people did on both sides during the Troubles Civil war, and the lack of personal responsibility for their own actions while condemning their enemies as much as possible.
I would delete it, but it's a lesson in histor, and history repeats itself.
Remember Jesus Christ corrects his own side first, before dealing with his enemies. Ie, "those who I love, I rebuke and chastise".
There where a lot of people fighting that claimed to be Christians, but where not, they where ravenous wolves. And by their fruits, I could know if they where.
Anyway, here's the rant that I wasn't sure to delete or not. But kept because it's an important historical lesson, for today's conflicts from household arguments to actual wars:
Having said that, targeting each others school children was unfortunately not outside the tit for tat warfare between both sides during the Troubles Civil war.
I only called it a guerilla army instead of a terrorist army, just because both sides where terrorists, and I don't want to associate with people that start fights, get outraged that people fight back and then intimate everyone in the bar into pretending that something else happened that didn't, to pretend that they where the innocent victims defending themselves.
Like "anti"- fa starting fights and then crying when they get their asses handed to them, or WW2 nazi propaganda news reels of Soviet War crimes that completely ignored Nazi War crimes.
That lack of personal responsibility for your actions is basically both sides during the Troubles Civil war.
Thank God I live in the Republic of Ireland instead of the North.
I would LOVE to visit Ireland someday. My ancestors spent 1 generation there. Love the Irish!

let me just make this on the 400 lb vice that i brought on vacation with me
Why would you ever take a 400 pound vice on a vacation when you could easily take a 350 pound vice!
Thieves will now practice fork piking 🔐 instead of lock piking
probably
Damn. I just can’t find a vice and a hacksaw and a grinder and a file in my hotel room.
🤦 …. make a few of these at home, then put one in your glovebox, travel bag, and office. Not sure why folk think they need to make this ‘during’ their travels….. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting, Gus!
Where do you get a vise and a saw? I thought this was homemade...
Homemade means that you made it, and didn't buy it. Like "homemade bread". Can't DIY without tools. Just sayin. Thanks for watching. Start investing in tools, my friend. You won't be sorry.
Always ask your Mum's permission first
Indeed! Good advice!

I would LOVE an underground bunker.
@@PhilCrockett Ya, it would be nice wouldn’t it.
For extra security: Bend the handle into a U shape so that no one can wiggle the handle out of the fork out. The U-shape is facing down in the fork lock. Can't fool gravity!
i like that
@@PhilCrockett wow its been 8 years and you're still replying to new comments
Except you can with helium.. gravity is not what they say, it’s not an outside force it’s inherent in all matter itself
@@PhilCrockett Hol up
@@PhilCrockett Did you actually answer a video 8 years ago?!
Ex work colleague gave me one of the best tips for door security. He worked for NGO's previously in some very dodgy countries & stopped in some dodgy hotels. He said always carry a small wedge in your luggage to jam under the door when you go to bed. Particularly useful tip for lone female travellers.
sounds like a good idea. there's more than one way to skin a cat!
@@PhilCrockett Always. Boss of a company I worked for used to say that to me nearly every day. Never having skinned a cat I wouldn't know exactly how many ways there are 😊
growing up, it was a come phrase in my house. always wondered if 'cat' was a kitty cat, or a catfish. hmmmm.... I'll have to look that one up.
A wedge is simple to shove back into the room. I have skinny fingers and I was able to move a wedge under a door to get in lol so anything thin and rigid could move the wedge.
And on the rare occasions I forgot the wedge, I used a high-heeled 👠 shoe. The wedge is usually better and less expensive, but some hotels remodeled by removing carpet and installing vinyl flooring. Then the wedge is useless because it's too short.
Useful for privacy not security
That is correct!

You should have mentioned that in the video or description. It's obvious, but stupid people will think it's keeping them safe when it's not. Also, the video description refers to it as "a little extra security".
Cool maniac Happyguy so true
"Thanks for letting me stay the night."
"Is there anything else I can get you before you turn in?"
"Yes, a fork with a tapered handle, a vise, a hammer, and a hacksaw."
"we don't have that here"
"why not"?
"because most of our clients are smart enough to make one before they travel"
"one what?"
"oh forget it"
😅
Golden!
What happened to the sharpie.
@@PhilCrockett LOL!
finally, my mom won't go in my room uninvited.
Oh, don't make her mad.
CanadaIsntReal yup
It only works when you're in the room. It wont keep her out when you're away.
Doug N It can work if you’re out, lock it from the inside then jump out your window😂
Your room,in her house lol. It's not your room until you buy your own place..... lol
Nice! And depending on the fork, it may be doable with just some pliers or a screw wrench. You just bend one tine at a time, and then "cut" the handle by bending back and forth until it breaks off.
The lock is only as strong as the fork. get one that you can't brake by bending, and one that needs a hammer to bend. just a good tip for ya. Thanks for watching and commenting, Isaac!
@@PhilCrockett Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Isaac. I hope you like following my channel!
Walk into public restroom. Stall door doesn't lock. 🤔 "If only I had a fork.."
Actually, I'm trying to come up with a portable lock for stalls.
Use two forks back to back with one handle to go through both. One faces east and one faces west and would have to go to the far side of the stall door. You're welcome...lol! I could use one of those in my purse for most public washrooms. While I am appreciating your genius invention I could give you a tip to enter your ideas at the website, Thrifty fun, they pay for great ideas, tips and crafts, photos welcome as well.
Thats awsome😂
Bahahahahaha
🤣
Really happy that this bloke recognised that some people who want to get away from abuse might use this video, and put resources to help.
THANKS!!!!! I hope it helps some people!! Spread the word!
That doesn't seem optimal - I'm probably wrong!
Wouldn't locking the door only exacerbate the issue by angering whoever is coming in unwanted?
If the situation is going to get blown up anyway...use the fork to stab the person in the neck a couple of times...
@@sonpacho Stabbing is generally easier said than done. Dinner forks aren't exactly made to be weapons. If you don't have much confidence in dealing with whoever is on the other side, buying you a couple minutes to think of something else (e.g. escape through a window, call police, hide,) is a great alternative.
@@zekrua4006 Find courage to tell a friend or relative to get support and help.
Exactly why I’m watching this, my ex threatened me and took my door keys and he’s known to be a violent person. Thank you for this, can’t afford to have locks replaced for a few days!
now when the silverware goes missing just ask the family "who's been making locks again?"
Silver is also too soft it would bend more easily than a steelfork.
Ha ha ha. Good one.
me!
@@peterzimmerman1114 dude pretty much nobody has silverware made of actual silver, we aren't 17th century noblemen. Most are stainless steel
They gonna say 'he in the garage playing with his toys again"
I like that he uses a door handle with a lock on it to demonstrate this.
It was the only door in my house that opened to a neutral background. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought the lock on the door would confuse so many people from the point of the video. I get a ton of comments about that lock. In fact....... I just now got another one! HA! In fact..... I'm going to copy and paste this for the next guy.
u do know that these door locks can be opened with a pin
my door has a lock but you can easily twist it because it’s not a key hole and it’s just a straight line that you can open with anything.
Hey why are you here
That has nothing to do with it genius.
I don’t care what anybody says I like it I do this to my back door all the time especially when I’m out of town it’s great security and a great way to keep intruders out I love it I learned this from your videos a long time ago but never comment but you deserve the credit.
THANKS, Foryea!!!!! Thanks for watching my channel too!
My back door is always open when I'm out of town I have a key at home
Two forks aren't going to stop anyone from getting in your house. Whatever makes you feel safe tho I guess.
Very clear instructions and actually a very very valuable piece of knowledge in certain situations. 10/10 video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great positive feedback, Neill!
"actually"
Who's watching this cause there parents took there lock 💁🏽
Ohh.. Mee......
My parents just took it now... I am sooo sad.... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
not me
This wouldn’t have worked for me as a kid because my dad took the whole handle assembly out of my door cause he thought my sister and I were slamming the door on purpose :(
Kinda messed up now that I look back on it as an adult.
Man, I came here to crack jokes about how my recommended feed is all kinds of weird then I noticed how this can actually be important to some people out there that are going through real bad shit.
You're the man, man! Keep doing the right thing!
You're still welcome to crack some jokes. I get a lot of jokes, trolls, and nonsense on here. It's alright, my friend!
“Oh no I’m in danger, let’s get a fork!”
Or maybe a deadbolt bud
I appreciate your ability to change your mind. Awesome stuff right there.
@@beepboopthemyth or maybe not... if it's a rental, people don't get to choose. If they don't have the money to hire someone to install it, or have anyone they can count on to help them install it, that kinda wrecks your idea, too, doesn't it? Any more smart-ass remarks?
Sheesh, guys are such asses!
@@beepboopthemyth u have to install a deadbolt, so this is more useful for short-term locks
Just don't use grandma's silver.
nacoran.... Please delete your comment/ after kicking in a door to steal anything for quick cash, I seen a broken fork on the floor, I instantly knew it was PURE SILVER - pawn shop paid cash. Thank to this video I now know how fork got on floor. (see ya' all in 2 to 3 years)
Silver is also too soft it would bend more easily than a steelfork.
No Retreat k it’s been 2/3 years
unless it's real silver,...... then use all her silverware to pawn and then buy an expensive deadbolt with the money. OH......and don't forget to send her a thank you card......because being a gentleman is important. LOL
Thank you so much, I can't thank you enough. I can finally have a day without my parent beating me up for no reason. My parents have anger issues and .. they just beat me up for no reason. They're guilty about it the next day and does apologize but for the meantime. I get hurt ALOT. I'm okay tho at least I think so maybe but I hope this helps. For anyone who is sad and their parents beating them up. tbh I don't know ppl say it gets better idk if it will for me anytime. I don't think so but reading some encouraging words sometimes helps that there's someone out for u. I love you. I support you and .. let's cry together. Thank you.
please go to the links in the video description, Theodore.
"Today we're going to be working on an heirloom fork lock sent into me by one of my viewers that he stole from his mother's antique silverware collection. It's a standard sterling silver fork lock from the 1930s so I'm going to start with my custom wiper insert and add a bit of tension and then use a standard pick in 18 thousandths. tine one is binding, so is tine two, tine three seems to have fallen into a false set (I'm wondering if there's still a bit of meatball residue on it,) and there's a click out of tine four. hmmm, this one is proving to be a bit tricky so I'm so I'm going to switch to the fork release tool made by myself and Bosnian Bill...
Pre-eminant address of one's sarcasm. I'm thoroughly saturated in assent of your foraging contraption. Capital!
I just realized there's no way to pick this lock. The plastic card trick won't work here
You totally understand the physics behind this lock. Thanks for the comment!
Phil Crockett thank *you* for the cool idea
or you could just kick the door in until the door breaks or the fork bends
great when ur grounded and your mom takes the pushy thing on the door off
@@cr3zedvl19 Which gives my pit/rottweiler mix more than enough warning and time to be standing there waiting. Oh and me with my .45ACP. Just remember... a lock is only there to keep the honest people honest. My dog and my gun is there for the rest............
If only I knew about this when I was 16 and the guardian would come barging through the door just to scream at me
Sounds rough. Hope life is better for you now, Enzo!
Im 17 and im glad i know this now
Enzo International student?
Enzo may you heal!
My mother was a screaming child molester.....This would have slowed her down a bit too......Why do these wackos think they have a right? Actually, I came up with something else.....but I don't remember what I did now.
This is really helpful and it looks easy to make too, thanks. My dad can be really scary sometimes and since I don’t have a key to my door this would probably work even better if he has a key so he won’t get in either way.
Hope you are safe. If not, please read my video description. God bless you!
If you are a minor, please find an adult you trust and let them know about your dad.
What are you doing that makes your father so mad?
I wish I saw this 40 yrs ago to protect me from my really scary dad. God bless and protect you sweetie 😇❤️
Yes, please speak to a family member or friend, you can tell a friends parent, or a teacher in your school too, ask them to help you out without informing your dad, I hope you’re okay and safe and I hope your dad isn’t hurting you in anyway!!
It would be a good idea to make one in advance and keep it around for emergencies.
+googleboyny YES!
Make some more and let's sell them in the flea market.
