Locks and latches are parts of a door. While the latch ensures that the door stays in a closed position to prevent it from opening, lock prevents the door from being opened without a matching key.

Hold down the silver button on the side. Scroll through the far right wheel until you hear a click. Do the same for the middle and left wheels. Hope it helped!
(Worked for me)
Update: Use your thumb to hold down the silver button on the side. With your thumb, you can feel the button "fall" or "bump" into place as you turn the wheel to the correct digit. This usually works really well on the 3rd digit. This at least narrows it down to 100 possible combinations (rather than the original 1,000). Or, knowing the last digit may help jog your memory to remember the combination you set in the first place.
How do you fix the door hinges?
you can use either "bondo" or "Minwax Wood Filler" to patch the wood.Dont mix more that you can use in 5-10 min.. Use a good stiff putty knife,let set ,sand, then prime and paint.This will hold up in Minnesota winters/summers(not to mention bondo is used on cars and boats). Hope this will work for you.
This is a patch job that will probably look nice if done correctly. This will work, however the problem of a weak door frame still remains. A kick or shove on the door will break the door frame again. You need to strengthen the door frame with a door frame reinforcement product. There are several out there but I've used StrikeMaster II on my home. 20 minute installation.
Depending on the size of the ripped holes if they are not too bad you might be able to just use thicker screws to place into the mounting brace of the reteractor. --- If that won't work
FIRST---Draw a a line approximately 2 inches above and 2 inches below the retractors mount brace-- you don't need a measureing tape for this you can do this by eyeball and mark 2 inches above and 2 inches below the mounting brace of the retractor. Measure the height from the threshold to the center within this 4 inch gap because you don't want to place any screws or nails in this area that will block your retractor mounting screws from entering-- mark your upper and lower line marks outside the door frame on the wall-- now you will have a marker that tells you where you do not want any screws or nails as you replace your fresh piece of wood.
I would unscrew the entire screen door frame- set it aside and using a Fein Saw -- I would measure 12 inches past the gouged hole towsard the top of the door frame & 12 inches past the hole toward the bottom of the door frame and I would cut out that 24 inch piece of wood and replace it with a piece of fresh wood.-- Once I have replaced the piece of wood I can replace the door frame and the door and the retractor and there would be no wasted time with fillers and weak area possibillities. If I have the Fein saw handy this job would take me about 1 hour to complete and even less if I just use oversized screws in the retractor mounting bracket that goes attached to the door jamb.
Hello,
You should also be sure that you install a chain to prevent this from happening again.
How do you get a car door open when it is jammed shut?
Has the door been hit? If so, a body shop would be the first place to try. If not, roll the window down and spray penetrating oil, like WD40, into the latch area of the door (this is about at the vertical middle of the door, straight down from the outside handle). Let it work in for a day or so, then try to work the handle from both inside and out, and the lock buttons as well. This will free it up in most cases. If not, the latch may be broken.
Sometimes, trying to open a locked cardoor with the wrong tool (such as a Slim Jim) can break the linkage off the handle or the lock cylinder.
If not successful, take the car to a locksmith.
Name three keys that unlock no doors?
Also, donkeys, musical keys, Alicia Keys, and the Florida Keys (island chain).
You don't. By definition a combination lock has no key, and thus there is nothing to "pick."
Picking a lock refers to mimicking the role of a key in a lock. A combination lock has no key, and thus cannot be "picked."
How to fix the lock of a Peugeot 205?
If the problem is that the inside door slider is stuck in the down position then it's probably that the rocker mechanism attached to the outside handle (just behind the slider) is rusty and the rocker won't drop when the outside handle is lifted and released. Remove the door trim: Torx screws hold on the armrest and door pocket and the other plastic parts just pull off; and prise off the trim, getting your fingers close to each of the plastic poppers. Spray penetrating oil into the top corner of the door and work the rocker free.

How do you Fix a broken lock on a house door?
There are 3 or 4 screws in each door hinge. remove the short screws closest to the center of the wall (the outer two are just lined up with the edge of the 1/2 drywall, so it won't do any good to screw the 3" screws in there - they can't bite into drywall...) put the 3" screw in the holes and drive it into the stud. You need to use a lot of pressure when you are driving the screw home, because you are trying to move the whole jamb, hinge and door sideways approx 1/8". Note: usually there is a 1/4" space between the door jamb and the stud (rough opening), if the door was installed with the hinge side directly against a stud or there are shims directy behind the top hinge - you are screwed, the installer of the door needs to be shot at (with the nail gun at a range of approx 50'-100' while wearing safety glasses of course - him not you..). He's a framer anyway and can't do finish carpentry work - he is not capable of doing a proper job of it and should stick with what he knows...your only option at that point would be to hire a finish/interior trim carpener to creativley solve the issue. Wow! I'm out of breath on that one...(I've got a lot of framing buddies by the way, I don't hate them nor envy them. In fact I'm a framer and can run circles around them framing because I'm a finish carpenter, Ha!)

it and turn the handle but it's still stuck? If you can then it's probably hung up on the strike plate. Insert a flat bladed screwdriver between the door and the frame just above the latch in the door. This should spread the frame just enough to get the door open. If this works, just set the strike plate a little deeper into the frame.If you can't unlock the handle, remove the knobs and you can open it with a flat bladed screwdriver where the handle goes through the barrel of the lock.

How do you reset a Bell bike lock combination?
I had the same problem. Shame on Bell for not posting the instructions readily on line. You must hold the red button on the inside of the mechanism down, while resetting the combination.
I wanted to post to improve upon this answer. I just got off the phone with Bell customer service. Here is what you do: Open lock Turn end that has the numbers on it (where you set the combo) towards you so that the open part where the other side slides in is facing you. Notice there is a red "tab" at the top of the opening. Press that red "tab" IN and DOWN (Note: It will be VERY hard to do this. You have to push IN very very hard, then while holding it in, slide it DOWN until you hear a click) Now set the combo to whatever you want it to be. (Write it down if you think you may forget!)
Look once again at the end of the combo side of the lock so you are looking at the opening where the other side slides in. There is a black tab on the bottom of the opening. Press that tab UP until it clicks. Now you should be able to slide the other end of the lock in and "locK' the lock and unlock it using your new combo.
How do you reset combination bike lock?
I think most bike combination locks have a buttton, or something to press in so that you can set a new combination.
I imagine for most it is on the " top side " of the cylindrical lock barrel ( the side / face where you insert the key ). Try pressing something in, changing the combination ( then " unpushing " whatever you pushed in).
With my lock you use the key to pry off the first ring then pull the next three off and reassemble it to your specifications.
How do you open fire door from outside?

How do you open an oven door that's stuck?
If your oven door is stuck, first ensure it's completely cool to avoid burns. Check for any obstructions around the door or hinges, and gently try to wiggle it free.

In some cases, lightly tapping around the edges with a rubber mallet can help loosen it without causing damage.
