Reason: The [image] command looks for the exact file to display, usually a .jpg or .gif the imgur links you provided are links to an imgur page not the direct links to the actual graphics file. I have changed them to [url] links instead.

Mod, is this something that can be answered outside of the advanced forum? It's a DND.

There is a reason the keys are marked "DO NOT DUPLICATE". You will get a very little info here.. Nothing raises suspicion faster than a first post of "Can you tell me how to get passed some High Security device... We are not in the business of letting someone break in some where ..

What concerns me is it's a key used primarily for commercial purposes. I don't like the idea of circumventing the DND restriction for a business key. I've long been a believer that if something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.

Lol, the key is 2.25 inches... yeah cuz thats how we ID key blanks...

It's a Corbin Russwin but they make dozens of keyways so god knows which keyway that is.

Man up and pay for another key. We don't help people circumvent security protocols or help them save $25 bucks after they lose a key.

Why dont we help: In the past college students, apartment renters, condo residents have wanted to make spare keys for a boyfriend or girlfriend or for a subletter and skip paying $25-$100 for additional keys to things like dorms, apartments, or even the pool gate at the condo complex. We dont want to help people cheat the system, its not fair to suck us into shady or unethical dealings.

@smallon733:

I would just pay whomever is it whose key you have lost.

It is possible to obtain those blanks, they are not restricted, but you would have to order them from Corbin-Russwin in box quantities of 50 blanks, they are specially coined with the "Do Not Duplicate" instead of the usual logo by the factory.

Then you would need to obtain a set of metal stamps to stamp the "B" on the key.

Total cost: $100 for the box of non-standard keyblanks and $120 for the metal stamps, both plus shipping.

If you returned to whomever it is a key that does not match the one they issued to you, it will look even more suspicious than admitting to losing it and paying the missing/lost key fee which was mutually agreed upon.

@Squelchtone:

I can identify the keyway :-P

That is a reverse Corbin russwin 59d2 keyway, getting blanks may be difficult.
