The Extra Long Lockpick

A pair of hands demonstrates lockpicking on a detached door lock, first using a normal key and pick, then revealing an absurdly long, wavy rake made to reach through the lock.

It didn't take long for me to realize that the key is longer than a standard lockpick. I was about to brood over that unfortunate fact when I remembered that I own a lockpick company. So I emailed our not-so-civil engineer telling him I needed an extra long rake. An hour later he presented me with this monstrosity along with a mischievous smile.
