Works best for latched doors that swing out and easily bendable for getting around the door jam for doors that swing in (albeit a little more difficult). Does not open deadbolts.

I've seen videos where this item pops a door open in one swoop. I have tried it on all types of doors in my building and at my home and it has worked perhaps four times out of four or five hundred. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. The thing just doesn't do anything. I'm glad it was cheap, because it's all scratched up and not returnable at this point. Looks like it's going into my throw-away-someday box.

Just tried it on doors around the home and it works great!

The rubber grip started pulling off as soon as I used it, getting the sticky glue on my hand. I had to discontinue use.

plastic handle slides off too easily. not enough leverage

Have used in the past, works well for entry.

This is a great tool for interior door work where you want to be careful not to damage anything and still be able to gain access.

This shove knife is a handy little tool to have carry on you. I use it most in alarm activations where I may need to open utility closets and trash chute doors and time/life safety is not of the essence. Once you get the hang of using this tool not much else will take it's place. While no doubt we all know people who have the skill set to use a pocket knife and credit card to accomplish the same task, I prefer this little gem. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is that is doesn't open any latch you can get it behind, but it's a really good non-destructive start!
