- These folding locks are different from unlocking sliding chain locks on doors (which you may find the hack to unlock hotel chain locks elsewhere on TH-cam using a simple rubberband.
The awesome thing about this is all you need are two things: the keycard and a do-not-disturb placard.

Respect! I work front desk, overnight… alone lol Thanks to your video, I was able to get my guest back into their room without having to call on anyone.
This actually just came in super clutch for me and a coworker. The latch was loose and easy to engage. We stepped out for dinner and when we got back. Room was locked from the inside. Hotel staff and maintenance both as confused as us. A quick YT search and you have helped get us back into our room thank you.
Thank you so much. Guest got locked out and I saved the day with this trick
THANK YOUUUUU!!!! Traveling nurse locked out of her room after work & you just saved her life
You are the best man just got a guest back in their room. Major life saver
No need for the key card. I work in a hotel that does not use key cards but has these latches. I just use a shoestring when a guest needs assistance. Drop it over the top of the latch, fish the drooping end back into your hand to form a loop (you may or may not need a pen or something to do that depending on how slender your fingers are), and then (with both ends of the string in hand) close the door and pull on the string. It will close the latch and the door can then be opened.
Thank you for this! This was so helpful! I locked myself out my hotel room and was trying everything before I found this video. Immediately worked!
I just used this trick to open a door at my hotel, to save a guy from sleeping outside. Thank you, Drunk David also thanks you, door wizard.
Thanks. Helped me get a guest in there room after a freak lockout.
Thank you so so much!!!! This Really helped me avoid paying incidentals to the hotel... you ROCK
Omg you really helped me more than you’ll ever know. This worked immediately. I probably would’ve been waiting until morning if it weren’t for this idea.
Thank you so much! Somehow the latch engaged when the door slammed shut. Front desk tried but couldn’t help so of course I googled and came across your video. They spent 10 minutes trying to open door with a hanger smh and with your technique it opened in a matter of seconds! Thank you!!!
Thank you! This saved me from having to wait downstairs in the hotel lobby for a maintenance person to arrive.
Thank you so much for this video! Today midnight I went out of my apartment myself and the door latch lock just accidentally on. No one is in the room except my cat. I was about to wait until the morning to call the management but my girlfriend found this video and shared with me. I was able to open the lock myself using my mail envelope!!! Can’t appreciate it more and happy new year❤❤❤
Thanks this helped saved the day!
Thank you so much!!! This saved me today because I would’ve had to wait on maintenance for 3hrs🤯
I'm a night auditor at a Sheraton. A guest just came down with this exact problem, he couldn't get into his room and I had no idea how to get him back in. Thankfully this actually works and it only took a second.
Thank you! Our latch engaged after we left and the poor front desk tried with various objects but no luck…it’s a hotel with just magnets for DoNot Disturb, but we had a state park pass placard in the car that did the trick first try.
This was very very helpful we just was locked out our room but got back in the room
Thank you so much for this video. Somehow, when I left at 2 am today to go to work, the stupid “clean stay” sticker they put on the doors at the Hilton now because of Covid, got in the door when it closed this morning. Then when I came back at 9:30 tonight (yes 19.5 hour work day) I opened my door and it pulled the latch in front of the door 🤬 tried a coat hanger and didn’t work. Figured maybe there was something on TH-cam. Your video was EXACTLY what I needed! Piece of cake! Being locked out of my room was not what I wanted to deal with after a long day at work.
This is so incredibly helpful! I had a guest locked out of his room were still not sure how it latched but using this idea I got the door open in seconds! Genius! Lol thanks 😆
Literally just happened to me
@@843niddy oh man that's rough did you get back in?
Thank you!!!
this got me back into our condo in 5 mins instead of a few hours … bless 🙏🙏😭
XD this worked at palms Las Vegas. Some how ours got latched on our room and engineering and as going to be 30+ minutes
This tutorial worked like a charm! Got in after only 2 tries. Thanks again!
Nice work! I was considering cutting the hardware. Thanks 😊
This video was super helpful. Got locked out of a double room on the one side and was able to get back in. The guy on duty didn’t even know what to do lol.
I’m staying in a La Quinta and the door just opens up. I threw the key cards in the trash, I just go in the hotel entrance and hop on the elevator. It’s actually pretty convenient
Lol what? This makes no sense.
Thanks for the video, just had to do this with our hotel, we all left for the day and when we came back the door lock was flipped. Used your trick and it worked great!!! Saved our night thanks!!!!
This was so helpful!!!! My dog locked me and my finance out of our room!! Lol took one try and we were in!
Bro this worked for me right now. 🤣 🐐 the hotel engineer was like it will be about an hour. I was like go get me a do not disturb sign and stand back
Just used this hack you are a life saver
Thanks!! I was locked out of my hotel room and this worked.
You saved me. I locked myself out. My fault. The front desk were perplexed. He had a slim jim with him when I told him about the card. It was perfect. I bet the slim jim would have worked. No scratches. Took two tries.
I tried this a couple times with the DND sign and it didn't work. Worked the first time with a piece of 18 gauge wire shaped like a C. You just pull it in after positioning it and closing the door.
Great i feel so safe staying in hotel rooms now, so much for the extra security. 🙄🤦🏻♀️😑
Use the deadbolt
FlowerGiggles21 you can kick them down just as easy they are designed to break before the frame does. They are just visual to make you feel safe
@@MadMetalhead Oh engineer can over ride a deadbolt ......
Omg thank you so much I had a guest lock themselves out of their room and this helped so much
Maybe just shim the space between door and lock flange with something that won’t fall off. That’ll also not allow as much potential energy from the door’s inertia to collide against the lock.
I just used this to get my guest back in his room!!!
The DO NOT DISTURB sign actually isn't useless, who fucking knew! lol
Good know. This is very common problem for hotel worker that guest can not get inn because of this problem and helps this technique specially after maintenance man gone for the day...
It works:))))
Thank you for showing me how my Stalker is still able to get in my place.
I remember him telling me he's good at picking locks
I just tried this with the plastic Q-Tip container. Cut it appropriately.
I was able to break into my own home.
Thank you for showing me
& now I feel even more unsafe!
Hotels need to go back to using the good old sliding chain
I legit was looking for something like this after our hotel room kept deactivating our key cards within hours of getting them. There were 7 of us splitting a room and we kept having to see who had a key that still worked.
Wouldn’t the deadbolt fix this? I would think you’d like someone pointing out a flaw so you can be more secure
Just saved my @$$. Thank you!
IT WORKED
2023 here Thank u I work at a hotel and u just save me a call to my boss on how to get a guest back in the room!😊
Doesn't work with the Auto Deadbolt on most decent hotel entry doors.
Unfortunately that only works if you have a key card to open the door and access the door latch. Otherwise you'll be trying to slip the "Do Not Disturb" sign past the door jamb's door stop, and that's not happening. Its easier to pull the Do Not Disturb sign against the 90 degree door stop than it is to push it around the right angle of the door stop with the door closed.
I open these specific latches at the hotel where I work with a shoe string, even.
I have this in my apartment , and now IDK what to feel ...
I enjoyed the information...but please tone down the heavy metal music.
Fucking genius. Our friend was hammered an locked us out this video got us in
This is why you also turn the deadbolt on when you're in your room.
Hate to tell you (speaking from experience) that doesn’t stop them if they have a Master key card (because it opens the deadbolt). I found out when someone tried breaking in my room at 6am one morning, I let out a blood curdling scream and they ran away.
@@TrAvalgal it depends on the master key. Only the property manager's master key should override the deadbolt. A front desk or housekeeping key should not.
Sorry but I'm not thanking you for this like everyone else. As a flight attendant that stays in a lot of hotels, this make me feel less safe. I wish you never shared this information that could be detrimental in thre wrong hands.
Dumbest reply, the info is out there, its up to you to protect yourself!
Still would need a key to open door it’s just the safety latch.
If you care so much tape up the gap and stop complaining
I would disagree, I need this video today. My hotel brought a sledgehammer to try to open it and once I show them that they were surprised and thankful that I showed them an easier way. Still not sure how the latch opened, they said it happens a lot. Still glad was able to get in my room.
This video makes the info easier to access and understand for malicious actors. I think he should have ended it with some counter measures against the bypass technique, but I guess I should just go out of my way to look shouldn’t I.
Interesting but i have never seen one of these locks lol
Nor have I. I think it's because there are so many hacks to get around the classic "chain sliding locks" on most hotel doors.
So I thought, "How can I hack this one?" Turns out it's easier than expected!
-Beau!
Ok
This better work 😭😭I just locked myself out
This worked!!! You are a lifesaver (or possibly the killer🤔🤣) for showing this trick. We had adjoining rooms and our four year old locked the other room while the deadbolt was on🙄. The hotel engineer wouldn't be in until 7 am, so I hopped on YT for any tips. Luckily I came across your video. My husband tried this trick and it worked like a charm!!!
Bull.
These locks are so stupid and also dangerous, you can break fingers and I actually talked to someone that had it happen. My maid closed the door and it locked by itself, the maintenance guy came and opened the door with a string within 5 minutes.
Now try it from the outside
One word:
Towel.
Fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing this with the rapists out there. I’ve had people try to get in my hotel room before, without success. I’m never sleeping again.
Which is why I highly encourage obtaining a gun license, to carry if possible, for Yourself and Loved ones as well.
Bruh
Use a door wedge.
@@andrewgoddard1990176you cant bring a gun on a plane, and most people staying in hotels have traveled via plane…
Can’t wait to surprise my ex! THANK YOU!
Don't be stupid. Place a wedge in the space. Duh!
This Video means nothing because it done from the inside of the room to show how it could be done. However he does by manipulating the card from the inside. What needs to be shown is someone actually getting in from the outside using this method. Otherwise it’s just fanciful thinking.
Actually it was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. His ideas mixed with a little bit of common sense makes it VERY USEFUL. I have a TOTALLY different latch on my hotel room ( the standard one) but was able to grab the concept of what it would take to get the latch to open from his idea and instruction. KUDOS to the guy who uploaded the video
How is this even possible I got 🔒 out of my room 😏
Man...if that is closed you are breaking into a occupied room....*edit its rare for that type of latch to accidentally lock you out...I have seen it... but only 2 times in multiple years
Thank you got me inside my hotel room when broad locked me out
This is literally the worst video I've ever seen and completely irresponsible.
😮 you know predactors will try this when kids go to rooms alone 😑😢
So do it from the outside then.... oh wait you can't or you would have included it on this video
Got locked out of our room with the bolt set just now (had two rooms connected and accidentally shut the connecting door which auto locked and had no knob or keyhole). We tried this and it worked just fine.
That’s exactly what happened here
Infinite light no shit for brains, he’s on the inside of the room.
