Sure, you can make a duplicate out of something with various slot heights, side wings, and keyways, but how easily can you do it without actually stealing the key for an extended period of time? Some of the Medeco issues are exasperated because the sidebar is bypassed using a paperclip or wire, at which point you're left with the heights of the teeth, which you can reproduce with a photocopy, impression, rubbing, or even a cell phone camera.<BR/><BR/>So yeah, you're ultimately right, dupes are a problem, but there are ways to reduce the ease of dupes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357840241031190415noreply@blogger.com
