So I have a puzzle that is just getting me stumped. The reason is, apparently I am overthinking it and not being able to figure it out is driving me nuts.
Any who here is what is going on.

There is a box with 5 locks, they are colored, Red, Blue (no color) Black, White.
The non colored lock can be opened in a normal fashion, however the other locks are enchanted.
There are two hints. Two words, one starts with B and the other ends with E (Probably not Black and White or Blue and White)
And a simple joke - How do you put an elephant in a refrigerator? You open the door and put him in.
You have a box that is locked, what is your goal? (I was thinking open it, unlock it, but never got confirmation)

The answer is supposed to be simple, however I am greatly overthinking it and some help would be appreciated, since I know there are some hardcore puzzle people here I decided to ask you guys.

You have any keys?

No keys, the middle one (no color) was opened by a lock pick and the enchanted ones don't have normal keyholes but more like tubes that go inside them.
And for some reason the answer or the key (hur hur) to open the thing is very simple.

Mind sharing the source of this puzzle? Things get "lost" when re-described by more and more people.

The source was pretty much a description, that is why I seem to be overthinking things.

Well, the best I can come up with is this:

Since the joke it something like "just do it" (Nike™),
and assuming the two letters are both the starting letters (despite you saying that E ends a word),
I'm going to guesstimate: "Break & Enter"

Do you have a way to check if an answer is correct?

Butter and Giraffe, since the words seem to be related to elephant jokes.
