Tryout keys in general wouldn't work i wouldn't have thought. i havent looked in to them but on a simple 5pin key there are nearly 60,000 combinations of key. and yes i know thats ignoring Macs before anyone jumps on me.

as for auto keys they in general do not work in the same way as a normal pin tumbler lock. there are a variety of special very expensive tools involved. not really worth it if your a hobby picker.

Okay, we have established that this is advanced - could we adhere to the rules, possibly?
