What tool is specifically used for prying a cylindrical lock?

The K-tool is specifically designed for prying open cylindrical locks. Its structure allows for effective manipulation of the lock cylinder, enabling firefighters or rescuers to gain entry when traditional methods fail. The K-tool features an elongated handle and a notch that fits around the lock cylinder, providing the leverage needed to pull the cylinder from the door. This tool is particularly valuable in emergency situations where rapid entry is necessary, as it allows for quick access with minimal damage to the door itself. The specialized design and functionality distinguish it as the appropriate choice for this specific task.
