The Shove Knife is the fastest, most damage-free means of opening residential and/or office interior doors that use "key in the knob" locks. Used extensively in fire towers to slip spring latch locks. The design makes the knife work from either side of the door. If the door opens inwards, you shove the knife in back of the molding stop and retract the latch. For doors that open towards you, the knife is slipped in from above or below the latch point and jiggled and pulled to retract the latch.
