The Black Mirror Hints
The cable's out of the way, but how can I open the fence door?
1 of 9: The only way to unlock it is with its key, so search the room for the key (with the power on so that you can see).
2 of 9: You won't find it inside this room...
3 of 9: ...but it is just on the other side of the door!
4 of 9: Right-click on the fence door to find it.
5 of 9: This time, though, you don't use the cliche solution of sliding a mat under the door and jabbing the keyhole with something to get the key to drop onto the mat.
6 of 9: Instead, think about the nature of the door.
7 of 9: It's a wiry fence door, so...
8 of 9: ...use the wire cutters on it!
9 of 9: Using the wire cutters anywhere on the door (after right-clicking on it and seeing the key) will get Samuel to cut a hole in the wire next to the lock. Then all you have to do is click on the door to reach through and get the key.
