How does taking a doorknob off prevent the door from being opened?

513 views

In TV shows people are always taking the doorknob away to trap people in rooms and such…how does this not just allow the door to swing open and/or how can the trapped people not just stick their fingers in the hole to pull back the piece that goes in the wall?

If they remove just the knob what renown’s is a stubby little square piece of metal, and if the spring is strong enough, it’s pretty hard to overcome with your fingers
