You may also need to tilt the knife a little till you find the suitable angle for moving the lock. Then they can get into the house by simply turning it except if it s a double key deadbolt.

The pressure exerted on the bump key causes the key pins to push the driver pins above the shear line. A sturdy screwdriver or small pry bar can quickly bow the doorjamb enough to release the latch.
