Locking doors in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare is a clever little trick designed to frustrate enemies.

Brought to light after the conclusion of the Call of Duty League Championship, locking doors is something all players should learn how to do. This simple strategy could save your life in-game.

Here's a breakdown of how to lock doors in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare.

How to Lock Doors in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare

Locking doors in Warzone and Modern Warfare is simple and can be done by using the same two methods since the games each run on the same engine.

For the first method, one must go to either an open door or to a door that you've opened yourself.

Then instead of pressing a button to close the door, as usual, close it by slowly walking into it until it's closed.

Finally, all you have to do is stay standing or crouched behind it. Unless you move out of position, the door will not be able to be opened.

For the second method, players will need to go up to a closed door, ADS and use the "Peek Door" feature.

Once the door is ajar, the concept is pretty much the same. You'll want to slowly walk up to the door until you can body block it. Just keep in mind that with this method, there is the possibility of getting stunned and 'naded.

Additionally, wooden doors can always be shot through.

Ultimately, this unsuspecting strategy has been viable for over three years now and allows teams and players to secure locations on the fly.
