  • Thank you very much. That’s really good to know.

    Though, I’m unsure of a few things.

    So, the machine physically CAN copy this type of key, you’re just not supposed to?

    And, additionally, I wonder how it copies a key type if it doesn’t have the key template in it’s inventory.

    Unless it either has those templates and just tells people to use the honor system, or it somehow copies keys in a way which somewhat disregards the specifics of templates?

    Also, unless the manner in which it copies keys is capable of duplicating various security features, this wouldn’t work for say the more secure ‘Best Cormax’ key (which would give the shower access)?





  • Like @three@lemmy.zip mentioned, the service states you can’t duplicate those types of keys. But on their website, after this statement, they link to their Terms of Service, which states

    and you will not use the Service or the Minute Key Machine to duplicate any third party’s keys (including without limitation, protected keys such as “Do Not Duplicate,” “Do Not Copy,” public school, public university, or public institution keys)"

    unless you are authorized in writing by such third party to duplicate such keys."
