Can Mult-t-lock keys be impressioned?

Got a cool old key? What keyway is this?! Need a key for that old steamer trunk or padlock? Do Not Duplicate got you down? What's that part number for that factory key section? Which supplier has this key blank in stock? Need the MACS, root depth, or Depth and Spacing for your lock? Need some pre cut keys? Keys and Key Blanks is the forum for you!

Can Mult-t-lock keys be impressioned?

I have successfully impressioned my Schlage Dead Bolt giving me a working key.

If I invest in a Mult-t-lock for better security can some crook impression it and generate a working key?

If the crook has the ability to impression a key, let alone for something like a MTL. I have not heard of anyone impressioning a MTL, but if someone can, they will know how to get into your lock anyway.

Well Mul-T-Lock is a manufacturer, not a design or platform. If you go with their latest platform, MT5/MT5+, I would say your chances of being struck by lightning or winning the Powerball are much greater than a crook impressioning a key to it.

thank you for the input.

Sounds like unless I am dealing with an ultra advanced person I don't need to worry.

Impressioning is not the only threat, I think photographing the key, or rolled across clay could give the necessary info to make a working key. Picking, then Decoding may be possible?

Casting from a mold seems a lot more probable than impresioning.. but where there's a will there's a way..

Makes me wonder what your hiding in that house ;0

What am I hiding? Nothing that I don't have in a good safe.

I play penetration party with buddies. We have games where we legally try to get in to each others places. It's always done when the owner is right there watching.
Rules require him to watch but not comment or interfere.

Locks, safes, alarms and no touch items, it's all covered in a strict rule book.One guy is a gun owner and we never touch that for example.

We have mutual permission agreements drawn up by a lawyer friend who plays with us.

Alarms have gone off and police have responded.Try telling them we have permission :oops:
