🔒 Ray's complete walkthrough — every door, window & lock fix in one guide (+ the $3 screw most homes are missing): 👉 https://raykessler.vercel.app This is a wire coat hanger, and this is a small keypad safe from a big box store. On some of those safes, the first one opens the second one in about the time it takes to say it. I am not going to show you how. I am going to show you why it works, how to stop it, and a thirty-second test you can do tonight on the safe in your own closet, with nothing in your hands.
