You just needed to know where it was and be able to turn the symbol/knob thing. Even if there was a trigger in the places Derek out his nails, you could jimmy it with some screwdrivers or some pointy sticks.

As far as the contributors answers to why Derek's dad would steal form his family, those are stupid. He would have right of inheritance, he has every right to just ask for the money so long as they were married. Peter wouldn't have any say in the matter. Not to mention any authority figures think Peter is comatose or missing, dead, or wanted, so he wouldn't have a claim.

Why do people even think his dad is alive anyway? Why the hell would a father leave his teen-early 20s daughter to care, provide, and raise his teenaged son after they lost the rest of their family? You can let Cora disappearing go, we can imagine she was a scared traumatized kid who just fled. But a grown ass man that survived would know to go to the police especially when he knew at least two of his kids weren't home when the fire started because they were at school! Could have said it better myself. I also think Derek's dad was human and was killed in the fire.
