HOW TO KNOCK

1926. The dry law. Every good door in town is locked, and every lock is a rhythm.

LISTEN — the door shows you its knock. Watch the light. Feel it, if your phone knows how.

KNOCK — tap anywhere on the door. Quick tap for a knock ✊. Hold a beat for a heavy BUMP 👊.

Get the rhythm close enough and you're in. Three tries a door — after that the block gets hot.

And listen, friend: knock like a person. Doors in this town can smell a machine — too perfect and they make you for a tin man. Knock the exact same knock twice and they make you for a cop. Nobody knocks the same twice. Nobody honest.
