Why would he not want to make these keys for me? and what specific key cuts are illegal?


Check up on MACS. That is:
Maximum Adjacent Cut Specification.

Each lock manufacturer specifies a MACS number for their lock. Kwikset's MACS is 4, the shallowest cut is a #1 and the deepest cut is a #7. This means that the deepest cut allowed to be next to a #1 cut, would be a #5.

Look here for info:

You can angle that as best you can, E, but going from a 1 to a 9, it would be NEARLY vertical -- too vertical to allow the pins to ride past.
