Make a duplicate key from a piece of tin

This method is suitable for flat keys. Usually their teeth are asymmetrical and are adjacent to one of the sides. We light the lighter and smoke this side. It is better to hold the key itself with pliers or just a cloth wound several times. The main thing is not to burn yourself.

You need to smoke the entire plane of the working area.

Next, let the key cool. Be sure to fully to room temperature. Then cut off a piece of narrow tape and glue it to the surface where soot formed. Iron on top with your finger.

Carefully tear off the tape and see that the fingerprint of the key is quite clearly left on its sticky surface.

Then we take an even piece of tin from any can and glue on top a strip of adhesive tape with an imprint.

We take scissors and cut the outline according to the print.

Carefully cut out each tooth. The work is not very painstaking, as it might seem at first glance.

For anyone, when cutting a key, a thin sheet creased. To fix this, we straighten with pliers.

Homemade key is ready! We take the lock and carefully insert the key into it. There may be minor difficulties. We twitch the duplicate up and down, inserting deeper and deeper.

And also turn very carefully. And the castle opens.

I think such a trick can come in handy in life. But do not try to open other people's locks, as this is criminally punishable.
