How to hide a key, effectivley

Step 2 Make the knob and key assembly

Honestly, I didn't do this the best way that I could have done it. It still works, but, I suggest using better methods. Perhaps using a dremel or milling out the space for the key, instead of how I did it. But I didn't feel like breaking out any tools, so, bear with me.

First, grab the key with the pliers. You wouldn't want to get a severe burn. Then start the torch up, and proceed to heat the end of the key that'll go into knob. Check every few seconds for when it's hot enough to melt the plastic ring type thing in the middle of the knob. Once it's at that point, turn off the torch, and melt yourself a groove in the knob where the key will reside. Push it down with the pliers until it hits the bottom, then stop and hold the key straight up till it cools. I wouldn't recommend dipping it in water, since the plastic may crack.

Once that's cooled, grab your glue gun, and fill in the area around the base of the key. This isn't completely necessary, if your key is held in good enough by the melted plastic, but I did it for added strength.
