Many keys can be easily separated from their electronics anyway - as long as they are not superglued together :)

Heat the keys with a soldering iron - but keep your well away (unless you also want to clear your sinuses).

Who stole 'nose' ?!
F**k nose :-)
They are not.
Three padlock keys, a mortice key, a Veritas alarm fob and a Paxton door entry fob.
I have removed the fobs from the keys. Only the high security padlock key has plastic on it. I cannot get another one cut without going through work as you need an ID card to get a copy.
acetone wint dissolve nylon or polythene.
I am not sure about polycarbonate. TRyp[ically it attacks cellulose acetate, ABS, and styrene. The same things that dissolve in MEK etc etc
Just suspend the metal bit in acetone and scrub with an old toothbrush. If the plastic starts getting soft just let the acetone evaporate and the plastic will harden again.
