Goofs Margaret uses putty or clay to take an impression of the keyhole of the lock on the laboratory door. This would not work, as the lock is a Yale type of barrel lock with internal levers. Soft putty would only gum up the internal workings, and when it was completely dry it would be impossible to remove intact. See more »
