Measure the bitting with a Flipper Zero and generate an STL with keygen, and you'll have a working — albeit plastic — key copy in no time.

    Old locks can be brutal to keys, it’s what grinds the steel keys down & at some point even new keys don’t last as long.

      I fully agree, but most locks aren’t in that state. 95% of the locks you might want to use this technique on would be in a reasonable condition.

        Yes, I agree, it’s perfectly fine - jamming the door is more of a phobic anxiety.

        Then again, 95% of such locks are prob vulnerable to simpler attacks.
