Is there a little hole near the keyhole?

The small hole at the bottom of a padlock
The small hole at the bottom of padlocks is hidden by the keyhole. This hole has two purposes. It lets water out of the padlock if it's outside, which prevents it from freezing in the rain or snow.



Many people also wonder what the hole in the side of their doorknob is for.

This is the small hole at the center of the knob. This is an emergency method to open interior doors with locks like a bedroom door. This is called a privacy lock.

How do you unlock a bathroom with a hole in it? To unlock a twist-privacy bathroom door lock, use a small screwdriver and a thin rod. Use a thin screwdriver to insert the hole at the center of the doorknob. You will hear the door unlock if you move the screwdriver. The screwdriver doesn't have to be turned while you use it.

How do you open a door using a knife?

In essence, the knife will be used as a torque wrench and wiggled like a key.

  1. The blade should be inserted into the lock as far and as possible. Place it in the keyhole's bottom half. Use pressure to push the keyhole in both directions.
  2. There may be a clicking sound. The lock should respond if you hear a click.
