It's a hole in a doorknob. Just stick a paperclip in there and push, why not?

@deadrival1 It has to be turned. It's not a push button lock.

which type of screwdriver did you use?

[sayba74]

@OldYellowBricks17845 That particular one is a "Husky 8-in-1 Precision Screwdriver" and I used the flathead bit. (Its a great screwdriver). But I presume any flathead that can get into that hole will work.

Thanks bro. Kids locked the bathroom door late in the night and it was up to me to open it. I thought that I had to have a key that goes with the lock, until I saw your video and then tried a screw driver from my eye glass repair kit. Worked like a charm.

You saved me a atleast 100 dollars and a lot of inconvenience. I owe you one bro. Thanks a ton.
