Breaking.

" Eh SM! How do you break the cupboard lock ah ? You all normally use what ? "
" Eh, we all use ET stick. The fatter end. "
" Need ET blade ? "
" Nah. "
" What brand is it ? "
" Yale. "
" Try smacking it right in the face like your backhand squash stroke..... is it big or small ? "
" Quite small "
" As big as the thumb ? "
" Yah. "
" Ok, you know the U-shaped metallic part right ? Position it such that it looks like a C to you and lock it in place. Then whack it hard down on the gold lock and break the metallic part. "
