[title] Try to Pick the Lock | |
- | [* black] I am not that clever, but a clever person might be able to pick the lock with a paper clip. It still is appropriate to mention this possibility here, because if you can do it you can avoid the following step where you damage the lock. |
- | [* black] The way you would do this is to bend the paper clip into an "L" shape and insert it through the key slot. Using the end of the paper clip, feel for one of the two large metal stubs on the sides of the latch mechanism, indicated by the arrow. From the center of the lock cylinder, you will have to reach forward a little to engage the stub. |
- | [* black] If you can push the latch back far enough you can open the door. Note that the door is not spring-loaded, so you will have to apply pressure with the paper clip while pulling the door open. |
