Let's move on to practice!

For this trick, get a fork. It must be large, with a fairly thin handle, so that it can be passed through the teeth of the fork.

Open the door and insert the end of the teeth of the fork into the square hole glued to the other part of the door, in which the lock rotates.

Take a marker and draw a line on your fork. The line must be drawn where the fork protrudes from the door.

Then, using suitable tools (hammer), round the end of the fork by hammering and not going beyond the line, so as to create a right angle. Saw the top of your fork to separate it from the handle.

Then insert the top of your fork into the keyhole by placing the top teeth inside and leaving what protrudes from the fork toward you. Close the door as usual and then take the handle of the fork and insert it between the second and third tooth in order to block the opening of the door.


You are now safe by using only a banal object in your kitchen!
