The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How do I get this lock open?
1 of 6: The first thing to do is pick up the keys and click them on the keyholes to place them.
2 of 6: Next, click on each key to turn it. If Holmes removes the keys when you click on them, that means you put them in the wrong keyholes. Switch them and try again.
3 of 6: Notice what happens when both keys are turned.
4 of 6: A metal bar comes partway out of the left side of the lock. You'll need to push it the rest of the way out.
5 of 6: The metal stem you got from Kurtz's coat is on-screen. Try picking it up and using it.
6 of 6: Click it on the right side of the lock to use it to push the metal bar the rest of the way out.
