00:00Have you ever imagined being locked out of your house because you lost your key or it broke inside the lock?
00:05It may seem desperate, but the solution may be simpler than you think.
00:10And the best part, you don't need to spend money on an expensive locksmith or have professional tools.
00:15With a practical and affordable tip, you can solve this problem yourself quickly and safely.
00:21The idea is to use easy-to-find materials that you probably already have at home or in the workshop,
00:26which can be surprisingly useful for small, everyday solutions.
00:30An old tire valve, like those found on bicycle, motorcycle, or car wheels, can become the central element of a creative project.
00:38With a little ingenuity, this discarded item gains new life,
00:41helping you solve problems in a practical, economical, and sustainable way.
00:49After removing the valve core, you will need to fill the empty space left inside.
00:54To do this, use a common rivet, the kind used for small repairs.
00:59Carefully insert the rivet into the hole, positioning it centrally.
01:04Then, use a hand riveter to secure it.
01:07But pay close attention to this step.
01:09The secret is to secure the rivet firmly, but without breaking or snapping its stem.
01:14Next, place the piece firmly on a solid metal surface like a workbench or a thick steel plate.
01:24Then, using a hammer, carefully tap the rivet to start shaping it.
01:28Don't rush this part.
01:29The goal is to slowly thin and mold the rivet so it matches the inner shape of the valve.
01:35This process is very important because it ensures that the modified piece will slide into the lock smoothly,
01:41without any resistance, and stay firmly in place without wobbling or getting stuck during use.
01:46Using a pair of pliers, bend the exposed end of the rivet shaft into an L shape.
01:54This first bend should be firm and at a clean right angle.
01:58Then, make a second bend, this time closer to the edge of the valve, right near where the central core used to be.
02:05With this, you're creating a small crank or handle.
02:08This crank is what will act as a lever inside the lock cylinder.
02:13It needs to be shaped precisely so it fits well and rotates smoothly inside the mechanism.
02:19To ensure the piece fits flawlessly into place,
02:22take your time to gently file down any rough edges or surface imperfections.
02:27The goal here isn't to achieve absolute perfection, nor is professional-level expertise required.
02:33What truly matters is precision through patience.
02:36Use the file with steady, even strokes,
02:41gradually shaping the piece until the finish feels smooth to the touch.
02:45Be careful not to overdo it.
02:47You're not aiming to make the piece overly thin or leave it too thick.
02:51Instead, strike a careful balance,
02:54refining it just enough so that it slides easily and securely into the lock cylinder without force.
02:59This step, though simple, is essential to the final functionality and feel of the mechanism.

03:17Now it's time to prepare another essential piece for this trick,
03:20the famous hair clip.
03:21This item is easy to find in any home, pharmacy, or supermarket.
03:35Remove the resin that usually exists on the tip of the clip,
03:38as it can make it difficult to fit and make contact with the internal pins of the lock.
03:42Then, with the tip of the pliers, make a small curve at the end of the clip.
03:52This detail is one of the secrets of the trick,
03:54as this curve will allow the clip to touch the internal pins,
03:57making it easier to unlock.
04:00With the two pieces ready,
04:02the crank made from the tire valve with the rivet and the prepared hairpin,
04:06you are ready to try to open the lock.
04:08The procedure is simple.
04:13Insert the crank into the cylinder at the top of the lock,
04:16so that it acts as a lever.
04:18Make slight turning movements in a clockwise direction,
04:20as if you were trying to turn a key.
04:22Do not force it,
04:24as excessive force can damage the part or even the lock.
04:29By inserting the curved hairpin into the bottom of the cylinder,
04:32the goal is for the tip of the hairpin to touch the inner pins of the lock,
04:38one by one.
04:39The secret is in the movement.
04:42With the hairpin,
04:43make movements from back to front,
04:45lightly touching the pins.
04:48Focus first on the last pin,
04:49which is usually the hardest to unlock.
04:52When you feel a slight click or unlocking,
04:55move on to the next pin,
04:57repeating the process until all of them are released.

05:34insert the curved clip,

05:38always paying attention to the feel and sounds emitted by the lock.
05:43Practice makes perfect.

05:50you can acquire the sensitivity needed to feel the exact moment each pin is unlocked.
