Default Deadbolt keypad

My keypad has been working fine for 3years, because of this I never keep my
key on me.well today I put my code in and the light turns green as the code is
being accepted but the dead Bolt doesn't turn. How do I fix this to get in my
house without contacting a locksmith

Does it have a battery someplace? If so, put in a new onw.

SWAT could get in with a 'no-knock' warrant.

I have 2 good friends that live on my block. I have one of their keys hidden on my property,
another guy has mine, the other guy has the other guy's. We all know where the keys are
and don't care if the bad guys ever find them. None of them work on the property that they
would be found on.

Go to the neighbor and borrow your spare key back. Oh, don't have one. Sucks
to be you. Look under fake rock, ditto. Stand in doorway, turn around, use
leg on the side the knob is on and kick backward forcefully. Fix jamb and
door. Call police and claim (lie) your mommy is dieing inside. Call phone
and wake up drunk laying on couch. Allow spouses lover to exit gracefully.
Look around house and discover the window you left open for burglars. In
emergency only: call locksmith.
