Assignment 20 - Brenden Knuckles

Have you ever wanted to know of the best ways to open a lock that might be stuck on your locker? Or maybe you're trying to get revenge on your friend? Today I'm going to tell you the easiest way to hack open a combination lock.

What's needed for this to work is to get a small rectangular piece of aluminum -- easily cut out of an empty soda can left over from last night. After you've cut out this small rectangle of aluminum, you will need to then create small right triangles (two to be exact) on the base of the rectangle itself, Going from a |____| shape to an |_|\_/|_| shape. After cutting out the triangles, make sure you take the two outermost flaps -- the uncut ones -- and fold them inward onto the rectangle. Once you finish that up, you're ready to open a combo lock. Take this new piece of metal you've made and wrap it around the metal bar connected to the hole within the lock. Make sure that the pointed piece (the one in the middle) is shoved within this hole. Now, after doing that, push down on the rectangular piece of aluminum whilst also pulling up on the metal lock bar. After doing that and making sure you have enough strength, you should be able to open a lock.
