Use the sharp saw teeth at the front of the key, pull gently to tear off the sealed part of the box with a few strokes and you can easily open the box. Usually, we can place an old key at the door of the house, so that every time a quick delivery arrives, you can take the key and swipe a few times to complete it.

Cleaning Tips, Repairing Keys
House keys that are used for a long time can become discolored or some saw teeth may be slightly dull and the lock may not open smoothly, but we don’t need to throw them away and we can easily solve this problem. If there are many stains on the key, we can prepare a little toothpaste and white vinegar. Use a used toothbrush to clean, the soft bristles can clean every gap on the key. You can make the stains on the key soft so that the key looks as good as new immediately after wiping.
The method of dealing with dull keys, keys that are not smooth is also very simple: We just need to take a pencil and slide it back and forth in the key slot for a while and the smoothness will be improved. The reason is that the main component of the pencil lead is graphite, and graphite is also a lubricant, so after applying and using it to open the lock, the key will be much smoother.
