First, take a deep breath. People lock themselves out of their houses every day. You're taking matters into your own hands, that's something to be proud of!

You're going to need to grab yourself a lighter. That's the easy part.

Then, make a carbon copy by tracing the original key's shape. Using this carbon copy, take a soda can lid (preferably used, otherwise, it would be a waste) and press on it for a few minutes. Finally, you just have to carefully cut it out and tada! You have a new key in less than two minutes!

The MacGyver of locks

Thanks to this new key, you'll no longer need to stress out over your forgetfulness or the loss of that key. You can hide it under the flower pot, behind the carpet or give it to your BFF - this key won't be disappearing.

We'd even suggest doing this with all your can lids, so you're sure to have a key in all of your pockets!
