INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most locks turn clockwise to open, but try turning counter-clockwise if this doesn't work. As long as you have the correct key you will hear a faint "click" and the door will open. If the door does not open, you likely have the wrong key. Lock picking works on any traditional pin lock. f you can use a key to open the lock, you can pick it. You will need two tools -- a torque wrench and a pick. In a pinch, resourceful locksmiths have used bobby pins, paper clips, and butter knives as well. However, the easiest way to pick a lock is with a professional kit, which can be found cheaply online. Try using a flathead screwdriver, butter knife, or small Allen key if you do not have a torque wrench. Anything small enough to fit in the keyhole but sturdy enough not to break. Try using a bobby pin or paperclip if you cannot get a pick. Simply straighten them and use pliers to angle the last half a centimeter up 90 degrees. You should see several "pins," which are small metal cylinders that keep the lock in place. The grooves on a key are made to push all of these pins up into the right place, allowing you to turn the key. When you pick a lock, however, you use your pick to manually push each pin out of the way. You want to wedge it lightly into the bottom of the lock so it is only a few centimeters deep. Act as if you were using a key, using light pressure to turn the lock. It will not go very far, but keep this pressure on the lock as you work. Using your pin, feel each of the pins in the lock. You should be able to move them up individually, You easily push the pins up with your pick. To make them stay, however, you need to use your torque wrench to keep turning the lock so it doesn't slide back into place. When you push each pin up, the subtle turning of the torque wrench prevents them from sliding back into place. If the pins don't stay up when you push them, add more pressure the torque wrench. If they are too difficult to push up, apply less pressure. This is the "art" of lock picking, and takes some practice. Each lock is a little different, and you'll need to feel out how much pressure is correct as you work. Keep up your pressure with torque wrench as you push up each pin. The pins are what keep the lock from moving, but with every pin out of the way you'll be able to turn the lock freely. Locksmiths are professionals who can open almost any door. Make sure, however, that you can prove that the lock they are breaking belongs to you, or they may not provide service.

SUMMARY: Insert the key and turn it. Try picking the lock if you do not have a key. Pick up a basic lock picking set. Look into the lock. Insert the torque wrench into the bottom of the lock. Turn the torque wrench like you were opening the lock. Insert your pick and feel the pins. Push up on one of the pins with your pick, maintaining pressure with the torque wrench. Vary the pressure with your torque wrench if the pins don't move. Repeat this step with every pin. Once you've gotten every pin up, turn the torque wrench. Call a locksmith if you still can't get into your door.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eject the magazine and remove any cartridges that are still inside. Hold the gun in your dominant hand and point it in a safe direction. Use your non-dominant hand to press the magazine catch/release latch at the side of the gun. Slide the magazine off with your non-dominant hand or carefully tilt the muzzle of the gun upward until the magazine drops out with the support of gravity. Grab the slide with your non-dominant hand and glide it completely to the rear of the gun. Release the slide and allow it to move forward on its own. Repeat the step two or three times. During the last time, pull the slide to the rear and hold it in place. Use the thumb of your dominant hand to push on the slide catch before letting go of the slide. The slide should be locked open and to the rear. Look into the ejection port and down into the magazine well. Make sure that there is no ammo or debris in the magazine well or the chamber. Sweep away any obstructions with one finger. Push the slide forward to close the breech face again. Slide the dowel rod into the muzzle. Continue sliding it into the barrel until it comes to a stop at the breech face. Always use a dowel rod with a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the barrel. Do not force the dowel rod into the barrel. Note that the breech face is where the cartridge meets the chamber. The chamber of the gun is included in the barrel measurement, which makes this measurement a little different from that of a revolver. You need to make sure that the dowel rod can reach into both the barrel and the chamber, stopping at the point where the cartridge head seats, where you will normally see the firing pin. Draw a line on the dowel rod where it first emerges from the muzzle of the gun. Make the mark as close to the barrel as possible. Use a pencil, pen, or marker to draw it. It might be easiest to do this with the gun lying flat on your work surface. Gently remove the dowel from the barrel by sliding it back out through the muzzle. Set the gun aside in a safe spot. Lay the dowel rod down on a flat working surface. Measure the distance between the mark you just drew and the end of the dowel rod you just removed from the barrel of the gun. You can use either a measuring stick or measuring tape to do so. The distance between the two points equals the length of the gun barrel.
Summary: Unload the gun. Open and close the slide. Insert a dowel rod into the muzzle. Mark the end of the dowel. Remove the dowel rod. Measure the dowel rod.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pour the heavy cream into a small saucepan, then place the saucepan on the stove. Set the heat to medium, and wait until the heavy cream comes just short of boiling. Place the chocolate chips into a heat-safe bowl, then pour the hot, heavy cream over them. You can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips for this. During this time, the hot cream will melt the chocolate chips without scorching them. If you don't have any foil on hand, you can use a plate instead. Lift the foil away, and briskly whisk the two together until everything is smooth. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl often. If you piped the frosting on instead, you can skip this step and more on to the next; you'd want to use the ganache before it starts to thicken. If you piped the frosting on, pour the ganache on instead so that you don't ruin the piped texture. You can also use crushed nuts instead of sprinkles. Once again, set the cupcakes down onto the muffin tin, and place the tin back into the fridge. This will allow the ganache to set up. Once the time is up, you can serve the cupcakes!

SUMMARY:
Bring the heavy cream to a just below a boil in a small saucepan. Pour the heavy cream over the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with foil, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Stir the chocolate chips and milk together with a whisk until combined. Let the mixture sit until it cools and thickens. Use a spoon to pour the ganache onto the frosting and swirl it around. Top each cupcake with a maraschino cherry and sprinkles. Refrigerate the cupcakes for 1 hour before serving them. Finished.
