Copper Wire Door Unlocking Tool

Step 2 Bending the wire into shape

The importance of this shape is that the wire will appropriately slip under the door when laid flat, flip up when turned with the back handle, and lean against the door so it slides between the handle and the door on the other side.

Make the hook that will grab onto the handle on the inside first. If you roll your wire up, you won't even need to unbend this part of the wire at all, just make your coil the same diameter as the hook.

Stand the wire on the hook on the floor by the handle on the outside. Since the handle on the inside is the same height from the floor, you can make the second bend at the correct height to grab onto the handle.

Finish the door opener by making a fourth bend to create a lever to swing the wire up over the handle on the inside.
