What an interesting scenario this was where the doorknob got stuck today for some reason and people literally couldn\u2019t go in or out. There was a lot of pushing and banging but nothing seemed to work. The next immediate response was to hire a locksmith to come in which would of course cost lot of money. However, before we did that I decided to look up some quick do it your solutions online. There were plenty, but one that made sense to me was to use a card and wiggle it into the latch area.<\/p>\n
Looking for a card I didn\u2019t need, there was this pre-paid credit card that I got as a gift a longtime ago which was now useless and so I decided to cut it and used it to try and open the door. Sure enough, it ended up working. So that definitely saved a lot of money where people can just replace or maintain parts of the door to get it to work again.<\/p>\n
I have a habit of doing this for situations where it doesn\u2019t hurt to try it yourself unlike say some kind of extreme medical procedure. A lot of times you can find easy solutions for common everyday problems like this so that you don\u2019t have to pay a premium for a professional to help you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
