Because knives are fairly bulky objects whose only point of precision is at the tip of their shank, they struggle in providing the accurate lifting action that is needed to pick locks. That is if they can fit in the keyhole at all.However, this doesn't mean that knives are completely worthless tools for picking locks. There are some unique methods that we can take advantage of to open a locked door with a knife!

Grab The Knife for Opening Door
It is not necessary to take a fine sharp knife to do this task. It is a kind of complex task, and you cannot take any risk. You can get hurt by holding a fine knife. A putty knife is enough to do this task. That means it might work.A Sharp knife may require relying on the size of the keyhole. If the hole is round, then you can open the lock with a small paper clip. And if there is a slit, it is mandatory to use a knife.

Getting Ready to Pick the Lock
Determine the type of lock, and understand how it works. If the door is locked with a bolt in addition to a lock in the door knob, you are going to be out of luck, at least when it comes to using a knife to get it open. However, you should be able to open a typical lock if it uses a spring-loaded latch system or has a button lock.In a spring-loaded system, the latch springs out from a latch pocket that is built into the door jamb and keeps the door shut. But if you turn the knob or handle, you should be able to retract the latch. That is, unless it’s locked.
       
To unlock this kind of a door, you should be able to take a butter knife or putty knife and manipulate the latch enough to retract it and open the door. The simplest lock to open, though, is the kind with the push button as the locking mechanism. All you will need to do with such a lock is to manipulate the inside of the lock enough to pop the button back out.
