There are a variety of ways to copy a key... a simple duplicator with a blank is what most folk have used when they've needed a key in the past. In our training courses, we also talk about stamping, hand-filing, and using code-cutter machines.
But all of these techniques rely on your ability to source (or at least replicate) a particular manufacturer's key blank. What if you encounter a particularly obscure lock design or are trying to duplicate a key from a system where the blank is not readily accessible to you?
In such instances, making a negative mold of the target key and then reproducing it with hot metal casting is a technique that can work... right there in the field!
Watch your fingers and don't burn your hands... this is a pretty great tactic when nothing else may work. Look on RedTeamTools.com soon for parts kits that help you facilitate such techniques. Good luck!
