How to open the broken lock of the front hood of a 2010 Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Door lock

If the lock of the front hood of a 2010 Ford Focus is broken, in order to open it you will have to break it, since you will have to replace it anyway, so you might as well finish breaking it. The youtuber built a tool with an iron rod, making a central notch that serves to maneuver the lock from the inside, in order to turn it by turning it to the right. The lock was broken by inserting a chisel and a hammer, giving decisive blows, and thus breaking the locking mechanism, so that the rod we saw before could be inserted. Naturally, the next step is to get the new lock, which can be found for example on eBay with the code 156304790490 at a price of 23.99 euros, with free delivery.
