unclasps
Opens a fastener
Unclasps means to open or release something held shut by a clasp—a necklace, a bracelet, a purse, a hand.
The action implies unfastening a mechanism that was securing two parts together: She unclasped the pearls and laid them on the dresser.
Figuratively, to unclasp can mean to release a grip or embrace: He unclasped his hands and let them fall to his sides.
