    That reminded me of the story about the guy who swallowed his key and the locksmith made a copy from his ex ray.

    @shamoononon has a hebetudinous dog: Why did he bother with the xray and locksmith? A good laxitive would have worked almost as quick at a fraction of the cost...

    This earned him a Masters?


    I can do this myself with a photo of a key, some spare keys to get the depths, a blank, and a key cutter (worked at the HD for a few years, and became the key expert).


    What do i get?

    @diabolusunknownTheSecond: It becomes harder when the photo of the key is at a severe angle. That's where the program comes in.

    Wouldn't a simple bump key be a little easier to use for that type of lock?

    @nutbastard: Not if your good. A few taps with a rubber mallet and i would have customers locks opened and re-keyed within minutes, and I made very little noise.

    That's goona be tough. The landlord is set to evict that deadbeat tennant very soon and will most likely change the locks afterwards before the new tennant moves in..
