Portaberto is a spell used to splinter a lock from a door; prior to the discovery of the Unlocking Charm, this was the most popular spell for the purpose. Unfortunately, it was known to occasionally leave a smoking hole where the key should have gone. However, it was a substantial improvement over Open Sesame, the previously most popular unlocking spell.^[1]
