it pushes the pins up.. you only need an extra piece to turn it

Tehtru3Enigma (-1) 7 months ago
the turning piece is called a torque wrench, you can use a flat head screw driver for that

2 layers might not be sufficient enough, i would recommend 3 layers or even 4...think about the thickness of the original key, it is at least as thick as 3 or four layers....

why even bother, when you can just go get a key copied?

if you look at the video at the end where he use's the key, it looks like the normal key with a round bit of coke can stuck to the end

Nah... might work the more you layer the key

Nice. Personally more work than a $1 is worth.

But for backup keys for serialized keys (Master lock, ...) that can't be copied legally by a locksmith, this is an excellent alternative.

A small screwdriver could assist in providing the torque needed to turn stubborn locks.

I would probably make the folds first and then use an Exacto knife to cut the tumbler lands afterwards. There are only 0.023" difference between each of 6 tumbler locations.

To accurately cut these surfaces with scissors or a knife would be time consuming.

The copy would just move the pins above the shear line. Then you could use a screwdriver or something hard and small to turn the tumbler. [for all you complainers of weak turning ability]

There is a great how to make a bump key video on WHT, that might be a more successful route to take; I wouldn't mind keeping one of those on my keyring.

i wonder if a thicker can like a slimfast can would work better
-1
mrarmada (-1) 5 months ago
if u use a thicker can then it will be harder to cut out and also shape the ridges in the can.

does the crop after the yielding process taste better with organic nutrients?

AlexBowman007 (-1) last month
the aluminum is too weak and on top of that your gonna rip the top of the fake key off leaving your door stuck until you find a way to get it out
-1
grey398 (-1) last month
try using a steel can instead of aluminiumand still doubleing it as above mentioned

How many more times do people have to say... It will be to thick to add the ridges! n00b
