What a simple, yet ingenious idea. Thanks for the tip! Stay safe please everybody!
Thank you!
So I just finished making, and testing this idea on a couple of the straight handles in my house. Worked amazingly well. Thanks again. I did make two small changes, I noticed while bending the clip the steel has a fair amount of spring to it. So instead of a full eyelet, I made a fairly tight tapered hook so I can reverse it without too much trouble, and put shrink tubing over the end to avoid scratching up my tool in the process, the other thing was I wrapped the hook end with shrink tubing as well to try and avoid scratching the door handle itself. Its not the prettiest version, bends aren't all perfect by any means, however that can be addressed in the next version I attempt to make. Love the idea. Thank you again!
I'd love to see a video of you using it!
@@amihirata its not the greatest quality video. However here you go. Hope you don't mind me linking your channel and video in the description?

The unsuccessful attempts are like watching one of those arcade claw machines.
You have the best videos! Thank you so much!
Try using vacuum hose over the straight part of the rod so it will grip the flat handle instead of sliding off
That hook is a game changer. What do you call it?
That's a nice Gucci door testing rig you got, probably less than 300 to diy in 2021, flashing that wealth
Definitely gotta try this method sometime
Great job. Super smart mod, I'll defo be making my own. (even though it's faster I still prefer to pick. It's less noisy, lol. Plus- if someone comes, stashing your pick and wrench on the fly is easy, having someone walk by you when you have your tool under the door= not good. This actually happened to me but I don't think the person knew what the fuck I was doing and said nothing. It helps that I was drunk at the time, lol. )
It certainly depends, if they have primuses on their doors I will definitely be reaching for the UDT before lock picks ;)
@@amihirata Just as an idea- On my DDT, once the plastic coating rips off, which it always seems to sooner or later if you have a door with tight tolerances, I used some black epoxy. I don't put it on the sides but only on the touch points so it doesn't add to the width of it- it grips super awesome- better than the plastic coating. Also, you could use the same stuff on the underside of the UDT so that when it engages a flat handle- it'll stay in place better- also works better just on normal lever handles. You should try it- you'll notice the difference right away. You need the tool to be slick pretty much everywhere Except on the part that comes in contact with the handle.
What I did is replaced the wire with nylon string. Made a loop, and ran the bar through the loop, then I tightened the loop. I pulled the Nylon and the door opens with no slip.
Im having trouble with one door, but the gap under the door is tiny so I can just press in the udt.. So ha ger add-on wont fit, could this be done with some kevlar wire instead?
Btw fantastic content! 😁
how do you fit that under the door
where can i buy it with the hook
Another situation where an inspection camera/scope would be invaluable as an assistive tool!
If you had a quiet environment, like an empty indoor hallway (no birds!), would there be significant audible feedback to help indicate you had successfully hooked the handle? It sounds like the tinkle of a glancing miss with the hook sounds different than a successful snag. But in your video we are hearing audio from the interior and in practice getting that feedback might require a stethoscope. That would likely make it impractical, or at least not significantly useful in relation to the cues you get from the tension, nor any better than an inspection camera if you are adding more tools to the exploit. Your thoughts?
So after some practice you can do it either by audio cues or via physical cues. Really if you get your height right you can literally just shove the under door tool over as far as you possibly can, wait for the hook to stop swinging, and then manually rotate backward to seat the handle. At that point you will very clearly know if you're on or not.
Would heat shrink give enough grip I wonder?
Cool. Makes a pain in the ass if went wrong to retrieve the tool, but failure is not an option....
Need to show the details of the improvement or sell a kit.
How do I make the hook
Great video.
Just purchased this tool and my first attempt was a bathroom door at my house with straight handles. I was worried about the usefulness of the tool until I found your video series. Do you have a diagram of this particular modification so I can get the dimensions correct? Thanks for your videos they are very useful.
Thank you.
The dimensions for the hook should be roughly half an inch stem (straight portion) followed by as large of a semi circle as you can manage (up to 2"). I've found that a 2 inch diameter circle works best, and youll find more success if you make the arc a bit more than 180 degrees.
Does the possibility exist to use a 35 mm film ?
Almost impossible with flat bar style handles
What material worked best for the hook?
And, what did you wind around the main portion to secure it in place? Does it live there permanently now?
@@PeterSteeves I made it out of half of a large binder clip and used duct tape to secure its location on the head
@@amihirata so I'm not crazy for trying that exact same thing then? Haha, I just only had the medium ones kicking around, and couldn't make it large enough. Now to find one of the large ones. I must have one somewhere. I think coffee is an order first however.
@@amihirata Would cutting the top off a metal hanger possibly work rather than the work to get a binder clip into shape? That would ne a nice preformed loop of similar size, though yu might need to bend a bit of a lip right at the end to keep it from sliding off the handle. Since it is narrower than the UDT it doesn't matter that it is thicker than the binder clip as it will still fit under the door if the UDT does. You could slide some heatshrink tubing over the hanger loop and that would add some traction to help you get purchase on the handle. And hopefully not help you get hung up and stuck! With the tubing for traction the extra thickness of the hanger head would then be a significant benefit over the binder clip as you'd have greater surface area for contact. That said, the simplest solution is usually the best one and yours works beautifully!
@@ZiggityPow You need something thats pretty strong and resistant to bending (something strong enough that you cant really bend short sections by hand) I'm not fully confident that a clothes hangar is strong enough.
now do it with a tiny gap under the door like in a hotel for instance. you know your're tool would not work.
Portentoso
or use duct tape
Quite sure these are prison-yard teachings.
Now, You just need to tell people how to keep this from working on their doors. Otherwise, You just irresponsibly told thieves how to easily get into Grandma's home.
