"How to open a locked door" vs "locked out of my house" — what's the difference?
Intent. The first wants a technique; the second wants back inside and will call whoever answers fastest. The DIY phrasings are on this list; the lockout phrasings are your highest-value traffic and stay untouched.
Why block lock-picking terms so aggressively?
Lock sport is a genuinely popular hobby — kits, forums, YouTube channels. None of that audience is locked out of anything. It's pure spend with zero call potential.
These are generic industry negatives - safe in most accounts of this kind, but not tuned to yours. Inside Keyword Ninja, the Smart Blocklist cross-checks this exact catalog against your real search terms and shows the wasted spend before you block a single word.
