    This trick is hilarious! Friend was working on a cabinet for hours and I just walked in and opened it! Should have seen the look on his face!

    The first time in my 61yrs I have hat the need to pick a lock of any sort and I had no expectations it was going to work. But IT WORKED. I can't tell you how happy I am. Thank you so...so much for taking the time to make a video. Wow 👏

    I was skeptical...but this actually works.
    Jiggle it up and down while gently turning clockwise. Da-da!!!

    OMG! The nail clippers didn't work but I tried a small pair of grooming scissors and lock opened! We moved 8 years ago and lost the key for a wood filing cabinet and now it is open....so easy...thanks for posting!

    IT WORKS!!!! I locked a Anderson Hickey by accident at work on an old cabinet that had no key. Popped it right open. Thought I was going to have to really McGyver it with a paperclip, a piece of string, and a priceless diamond necklace, ha! Sorry, Im a little giddy. THANK YOU!!!!!

  • @lindab.5953
    @lindab.5953 3 года назад +1

    Thank you so much! I accidentally licked myself out of my file cabinet with keys inside, and this did the trick. So, I tried it for a minute or two... Got discouraged...tried some other opt ions to no avail... Went crank to the nail file and Voila! Thank you so much!!!

      Lol... I spell it right... And damn spell check changes the word to something totally stupid! My new LG velvet is particularly bad! Someone in product development has a permanent smile on his face with this one! And to answer your question... I was curious ...It tasted Like chicken!

  • @kevinbyrne4538
    @kevinbyrne4538 10 лет назад +2

    Thanks for this tip. Someone lost the key to our file cabinet years ago, so we open it by bashing the cabinet on its side and then pulling the draw hard. This is much easier.
