A bent coat hanger will do the same…they’re thin enough to normally slide through.
I did this once year ago while house-sitting for a coworker. The front door knobs were the style which would open from the inside but be locked on the outside, and I’d never seen those before. Walked out to do something, tried to go back in…fuuuuuuuck. Car was locked, didn’t know the garage code, but I did have the garage door opener in my car. Walked over to the neighbors, shirtless, and asked to steal a coat hanger. Used it to hit the garage door opener button (car was old and had manual locks). Phew.
