suitable to create a working key from a key blank.
That's why I brought up the prospect of making some key blanks. If a blank was made
from just
soft enough metal it could be used to impression and file down a key that matches.
Of course, you can also disassemble the lock and
measure pin lengths. To get the correct
lengths, there's databases. Using a dremel is not the easiest way to do this.
A good pair of calipers would be about all that would be required. Thing is, unlocking
the
mechanism would be the easiest way of going about it. I'd take a go at picking it for
that
purpose, but there might be other methods I don't know about.
