Drawing a pattern on an aluminum can does make it a lockpicking kit

Padlocks are commonly used tools for security and theft prevention, but their keys are also easily lost by many people. Without the key, unlocking the padlock can be quite troublesome. Although many people choose to forcibly break it open, this approach would damage the lock. Therefore, a netizen has shared a gentle method of unlocking a padlock using an aluminum can.

First, use scissors to cut out a small piece of aluminum from the aluminum can.

Next, draw a pattern on the aluminum piece as shown in the image, and cut it out accordingly.

Afterwards, fold the two ends of the cut aluminum strip towards each other, inserting the protruding part into the lock hole, while positioning the strip in the middle of the shackle.

Then, grasp the strip firmly and twist it 180 degrees with force.

Finally, gently pull on the shackle, and you will see that the padlock has been opened. Isn't it easy? If you ever find yourself without a key, give this method a try. If you find it helpful, please share it with more friends!
