A skill known and practiced for years by seasoned locksmiths, impressioning a working key from a blank is a popular new addition in locksport circles everywhere. Get your blanks and Pippin files and get busy!
Awesome! Great to hear that you have a working key I should remake the video closer up so it's easier to see the specific edge I was using to align wafers.. rewatching it, I don't think I made that part clear.
Hi, SmartKey isn’t really impressioning-friendly. Its sidebar/wafer design behaves very differently from a pin tumbler, so traditional impressioning won’t give reliable results. Non-destructive decoding is usually the better route here.
