Ask Mr. Locksmith: Can a credit card open a lock? – is one of the most frequent questions I get. Well, the answer is both Yes and No. If you have been locked out of the bedroom or bathroom, yes, a credit card might open it. But, if you are in one of those trickiest situations wherein the door that’s locked has a deadbolt, then the answer is No, a credit card can’t open it.

You know, if you have a bathroom lock or a bedroom lock the credit card may be able to open up the lock. Now a deadbolt, the credit card can’t open up the deadbolt ‘cuz the bolt doesn’t go back.
