This video shows you HOW TO OPEN A LOCK using only 20 matches and a sparkler, an experiment with matches made to see if a lock could withstand such high temperatures.
This method will allow you to open a lock without a key, so please be aware if and how you use it.
When you have a stuck or jammed lock and you need to open it in the shortest time possible, you can try lots of ways.
The fastest way to open a lock that we've found, was to fill the locking mechanism with matchstick head powder.
For this we used 20 matchstick heads which we peeled the red head off.
We minced it into a thin red powder an put it in the opening mechanism. A sparkler was used as a wick.
That powder contains potassium chlorate that will make the temperature inside to raise at 300 deg Celsius.
The inside pressure made the mechanism collapse and open.
Opening a lock with just matches may seem very difficult at first. However, once you see this video and understand what you need to do,
it becomes very simple.
We used a transparent lock so we could have a better look at this experiment.
It will not work on all types of locks, depending on the materials used the result could be different.
In our case this was the easiest way to open a lock with matches.
Thanks for watching!
