okay so im in the uk right and my hotel has two roof access points. one with a stair and a locked door, the other with a ladder and a roof hatch. the roof hatch doesnt require a key. it has a square metal rod sticking out of the lock mechanism and im assuming this means its intended to be opened with a socket wrench or something like that. any idea on how else to open it? i have at my disposal a metal corkscrew/bottle opener (the kind that has a curved frame and the dull useless knife), a slip joint knife (would rather not have to damage this, is a souvenir i bought in italy) and other regular travel items. im leaving tomorrow at like 630 am (its 10pm right now) and would love to get on the roof for some photos. i tried just twisting it with my fingers but obviously that didnt work. not that i actually thought it would.
edit: just looked up firefighter key. looks like that is the tool intended to open.)
second edit: nevermind. figured it out
pretty sure there was a camera up there tho (weird right?) but it had a dark housing and was mounted on the wall so i stayed up there for maybe a minute tops shooting as many angles as possible then went back down. gonna process then post pics in a different thread.
