HowTo copy a key - quick'n'dirty
About
So, you wanna hack something without a computer? Break into the safe of your little sister, or into a cupboard of your school? Then you are right...
I tried this hack today, because i was bored and the internet was down at home. It was pretty easy to make a copy of the key for my little safe out of plastic waste. It should work for other locks too. But now, let us start:
What do we need?
- Scissors or knife
- Marker
- Plastic waste
- The original key
- Some intelligence & technical understanding
- The lock, if possible for testing your new key ;)
Step 1
Cut out a piece of plastic, it should be a bit bigger than the key.
Step 2
Put the key on the piece of plastic and draw with an marker around the outline of the key.
Step 3
Cut the key out of the plastic. Because the cylinders in my lock are only on one side, i need only a 'half copy'. Here you need some intelligence and technical knowledge to analyze your lock!
Step 4
Stick the key into the lock and try your luck. The better your work, the better the key will be ;)
If your key is good enough...:
These are two of the copies i made of the key, both worked:
Conclusion
I hope this howto was usefull for you and you will use some of my technics.
