to/for

Which of these is correct:
1-I used my knife to open the door.
2-I used my knife for opening the door.

Both are correct.

:)

They are correct, but I would use the second when talking in general rather than a specific occasion. ;-)

In that case, wouldn't you say I used my knife for opening doors?

yep, if I were a burglar. ;-)
