How to Bypass Magnetic Door Lock
Introduction
The magnetic door lock is a kind of simple device designed for rooms. It consists of the main body and magnetic card, with high magnetic permeability and low mechanical resistance. The design is not complicated, and its construction is simple, making it easy to be fabricated and used in common households. Magnetic door locks are widely used becrause of their reasonable price and simple use techniques. However, bypassing a magnetic door is sometimes needed for emergency purposes. For this reason, today, I will discuss a technique on how to bypass magnetic door lock.
Working Mechanism of Magnetic Door Locks
When you approach the door, it will detect your hand (or any other metal object) approaching using an electromagnetic sensor or motion detector trigger(s). If your hand has a magnet embedded into it as credit cards do, then the locks’ electromagnet can be deactivated directly through induction.
If you have a door with a magnetic lock, you can deactivate it by inserting an Allen wrench into the bolt. This will deactivate the electromagnet’s field, so that the door can be opened.
If it doesn’t work with cards or wrenches, then some locks only react to magnetism in one direction. So the user needs to align a north pole in front of the south pole of the magnets on the lock, which means that they must get out their compass and point it at exactly 90 degrees from their target.
Step-Wise Guide on How to Bypass Magnetic Door Lock
Step 1: Get Access to the Magnetic Door Lock
It can be quite difficult to get inside a house when no one is home, so it’s a good idea to see if someone can let you in before attempting to break in. The first thing you should do is figure out how to break into a house where the main door lock is made of magnetic metal strips inside two steel plates. It would be wise to look at all possible doors that could lead you inside the home, and make sure those doors don’t have any locks like pin tumbler cylinder locks, card reader locks, or touchpad locks.
The next step is to examine the door and try to find out if there are any weak spots on it that you can easily break into. For example, one should look for any gaps between the door and the floor, walls, beams, or anywhere, in other words, that is not well connected. This unit will help them get a hold of the lock, just like how one would do when they want to pick up a lock using an ordinary set of lock picks. So, it’s a good deal as soon as you have figured some flaws on your doors.
Step 2: Identify The Lock Mechanism Type
There are mainly two kinds of locks used on the doors that lead inside your house. One is a magnetic door lock, and the other one is a pin tumbler cylinder lock. If you are not sure which kind of lock you have, it would be better to take out your electronic device (smartphone or any other) to check on the Google search for some information about it.
Step 3: Pick Out The Right Picks
A set of lock picks is a great way to open a pin tumbler cylinder lock, and they also work well with magnetic door locks. However, sometimes these simple tools don’t work as well as expected, so it’s a good idea to carry a set of different picks with you, including raking picks, diamond picks, and picks with many different shapes.
Step 4: Isolate The Magnetic Lock From the Frame
It can be quite difficult to get inside a house when no one is home, so it’s a good idea to see if someone can let you in before attempting to break in. The first thing you should do is figure out how to break into a house where the main door lock is made of magnetic metal strips inside two steel plates. It would be wise to look at all possible doors that could lead you inside the home, and make sure those doors don’t have any locks like pin tumbler cylinder locks, card reader locks, or touchpad locks.
Step 5: Getting Into The Door With Help Of Picks And Chisel
In order to break into your house, you must first break into the door. Remember to do this from the outside, as it will be easier to pick the lock from the outside than to break it from the inside.
Step 6: Remove The Magnetic Lock From Inside Of The Door
When you have successfully identified and picked out every weak spot in your door and also got hold of a chisel, it’s time to go inside through one of those cracks or gaps. Then, insert that chisel into one of these holes (you can try all possible places) and hit it repeatedly with any hard object that would help you do this act. This will help you loosen the connection between the door and its frame.
Precations While Bypassing Magnetic Door Lock
- This is not a good idea if your parent has any problem going to the hospital often.
- This is very important, do this trick in a safe place. So no one will walk out and detect your bypassed lock.
- Don’t tell anyone about how you bypass the magnetic door lock, please! It means you’re telling them for stealing etc., so please don’t tell anyone!!
- Do this at night because it’s very dark inside the house or building. Also, keep some emergency candles with you just in case (if you do this during the daytime).
- Never try to open a magnetic door lock while other people are sleeping. In fact, even when only you are sleeping, it’s better to do this at night.
- Always keep a good ear on the sound side. If someone is coming and you have any chance to hide, it’s better to do that.
