Ever thought of keeping a spare key but too lazy to reach out to your local lock smith? Try this cool hack if DIY is your kind of thing.

All you need is your original key, a lighter, sticking tape, tin can and a pair of sharp scissors.

Warning: Use pliers and safety gloves to avoid cutting or burning yourself

Step 1

Hold the key you want to copy over a flame until it turns black. Set it aside and let it cool.

Step 2

Stick tape on the blackened key in order to obtain an impression.

Step 5

Use the spare key to see if it fits the grooves of the lock.
