Losing a key is always a problem. And if we are talking about a single case, then grief, because the event automatically turns into a replacement of locks – both door and contact – or an expensive mechanical selection operation, requiring first removal of the assembly, and then disassembly. However, sometimes a simple and much cheaper solution helps. What, says the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
Many “beushki” are sold with one key: they say, lost, forgotten, there is one, a discount and we scatter. Naturally, the new happy owner makes a vow to himself: as soon as I do MOT, I will immediately restore the second set. And, of course, it does not recover: sometimes there is no time, then finances are to sing romances, because a car key is an expensive pleasure. Whatever you say, but 3000 – 5000 rubles will have to be paid. As a result, the machine is still operated with a single and “unrepeated” opener, which is lost at the most inopportune moment. And what to do, you ask?
There is a simple and traditional way: we open it, throw out the terminal, remove the ignition switch. It will cost 3,000 rubles if you do the last two points yourself. Next – either disassembly with replacement of door locks, or selection. The price of the first option, like the price of the second, can cause not only a hole in the family budget, but also a divorce. Because in the situation there is only one guilty, and categorically. But the internet always has an alternative solution, and often that is the only correct one.
The Russian land has always been rich in craftsmen and “left-handers”, nothing has changed today. A glue gun that feeds molten plastic through a nozzle is inexpensive, which is why many people have it. But some particularly cunning masters guessed that the tool can be used in different ways: including making it easy and quick to make impressions of various elements – the same keys.
The keyhole is gently detached from the protective cover with a paper clip and then molten plastic is fed into it. Dexterity and skill, of course, take place, you can not argue, but after a few seconds an exact imprint of the lost key turns out to be in the hands of a specialist. Then you just need to grind the blank and “attach” the resulting blank to the immobilizer. It costs a lot of money, but it turns out to be many times cheaper than an operation with a complex replacement or selection.
There are many such examples on the Internet, but they all have the same meaning: no matter how complex and at first glance an insoluble problem may appear, the first thing to do is to calm down and exhale. After all, any misfortune with a car can be solved, the only question is how much money will be spent. And since payment of the bill equalizes everything, this is not a problem, as the old people said, but an expense. Nothing but.
