The No. 570 cylinder is a [[pin-tumbler]] lock with five pin stacks and [[security pin]]s. The cylinder typically uses the [[M1]] [[Key#Types_of_Keys|key profile]] but may use other profiles, as well. The standard No. 570 can be opened in one direction. The No. 570 is a [[key retaining]] padlock, with no springs used.

== Disassembly instructions ==

The No. 570 cannot be disassembled non-destructively.

== Vulnerabilities ==

The No. 570 is vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. The No. 570 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:

The '''No. 4''' is a [[pin-tumbler]] [[padlock]] made by [[Master Lock]]. The No. 4 uses a laminated brass padlock body with an internal key-in-knob-style [[cylinder]]. The inner cylinder uses four pin stacks and does not use any [[security pin]]s.

The No. 4 is a common low security padlock used in the United States.

<br clear=all>

== Principles of operation ==

The No. 4 cylinder is a [[pin-tumbler]] lock with four pin stacks and no [[security pin]]s. The cylinder typically uses the [[M1]] [[Key#Types_of_Keys|key profile]] but may use other profiles, as well. The standard No. 4 can be opened in both directions but the "commercial" series body restricts opening to clockwise rotation. The No. 4 is not a [[key retaining]] padlock.

== Disassembly instructions ==

The No. 4 cannot be disassembled non-destructively. To disassemble it the rivets that hold the laminated body together must be removed and each layer removed individually. The inner cylinder itself can be disassembled in the same manner as a traditional pin-tumbler lock:

{{Pin-tumbler standard disassembly}}

'''Notes'''
* The No. 4 cylinder requires a small diameter plug follower.
* The No. 4 plug is retained by a crimp, rather than a C-clip or [[cam]]. Above are the generic pin-tumbler disassembly instructions.

== Vulnerabilities ==

The No. 4 is vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. The reduced pin tumbler count and poor manufacturing tolerances makes it an easy lock to pick. It's commonly given to [[locksport]] beginners as a "confidence lock"; a lock that is easy to open and inspires you to continue picking. The No. 4 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:

* [[Lockpicking]]
* [[Key bumping]]
* [[Impressioning]]
* [[Decoding]]
* [[Bypass]]
* [[Destructive entry]]

'''Master Lock''' is an American [[Lock Manufacturers|lock manufacturer]] that produces low security [[padlock]]s, chain locks, gun locks, and various other lock related equipment. Master Lock is currently the world's largest importer of padlocks and related security products. They are best known for their laminated steel layer padlocks that use [[warded]] and [[pin-tumbler]] designs. Their [[combination]] padlocks are also widely used on lockers in schools throughout the United States.

__TOC__

== History ==

Master Lock was founded in 1921 by Harry Soref, P.E. Yolles, and Sam Stahl. Soref invented and patented a padlock in 1924 that used laminated layers of steel for extra protection. Padlocks of the time were all hollow and suspectible to various [[forced entry]] techniques, particularly impact with a hammer. Soref's inspiration for the design was from bank vault doors and battleships of the time.<ref>[http://www.masterlock.com/about/history.shtml Master Lock: About Us / History]</ref>

Soref's design went on to be wildly successful, with federal agents placing large orders. Many of these padlocks were used to lock down establishments that disobeyed prohibition laws.

In 1939 Master Lock moved to their current facility at 2600 North 32nd Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Harry Soref died in 1957. He was succeeded as president of Master Lock by co-founder and long time friend Sam Stahl.

== "Tough Under Fire" campaign ==

In 1973, Master Lock ran a famous Super Bowl ad where one of their locks survived being shot by a sharpshooter, thereby proving its durability, thus the slogan "Tough Under Fire". Master Lock would continue running similar ads during future Super Bowls, spending almost their entire annual marketing budget on the single commercial. <ref>[http://www.clickz.com/experts/archives/ebiz/ebiz_report/article.php/835901 Advertising During the Super Bowl]</ref>

In the episode "Mega Movie Myths" of the Discovery Channel's show MythBusters, this famous ad was tested by shooting a Master Lock padlock by a rifle. Master Lock padlocks passed the test when shot with a 9mm and .357 handguns, but were defeated by shotguns and Garand rifles.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0852842/synopsis Mythbusters "Mega Movie Myths"]</ref> The official Mythbusters verdict was not "busted," but rather "plausible." They argued that using such strong firearms at close range may cause ricochet and spalling which would be extremely dangerous to a real-life attacker.<ref>[http://mythbustersresults.com/special9 Mythbusters Special 9: Mega Movie Myths]</ref>

[[File:Schlage padlock.jpg|thumb|right|text-top|A [[Schlage]] brand brass body padlock.]]

A '''padlock''' is a portable [[lock]] used to restrict access to an area or enclosure or prevent an object from being removed from an area. Padlocks are widely used in everyday life in both low and high security installations. In popular use, padlocks are used on lockers, gates, fences, hasps, and chains to secure a wide variety of objects and areas.

Padlocks can use a variety of locking designs, but [[pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] mechanisms are the most common. [[Lever]] padlocks were also popular at one time, but use has dwindled in most parts of the world in favor of pin-tumbler or warded mechanisms.

__TOC__

== History ==
The earliest padlocks were from the Roman era, from 500 BC to 300 AD.

Through the last several hundred years, padlocks have become far more advanced than their earlier ancestors. Whereas many of the earlier padlocks were little more than poorly wrought designs that could be bypassed easily, today we have padlocks that incorporate high-security cylinders, restricted keyways, high-strength materials and components, and ever more advanced measures of security. For instance, some of the padlocks manufactured by [[Sargent and Greenleaf]] incorporate ceramic plates into the body of the lock, providing increased protection against attacks from drilling and freezing the lock body to extreme temperatures.

Most padlocks share a common design theme. An upside-down U-shaped shackle and a rectangular body. This common design has spread in use to indicate a secure connection on a website, with a symbol of a locked padlock in the status bar of a web browser.

== Parts of a padlock ==

;''shackle, bolt''
: A rod made of a hardened material (typically steel) that is affixed to an object, usually a hasp, fence, or chain. The shackle is responsible for keeping the padlock connected to whatever it is attached to. This is the weakest part of the padlock in [[forced entry]] as the unprotected bolts can often be cut using bolt cutters. See [[bolt]] for more information.

;''body''
:The part of the padlock that surrounds the locking mechanism and most of the shackle. More secure padlocks attempt to conceal as much of the shackle as is possible to prevent various forms of [[forced entry]]. Padlocks designed in this manner are referred to as '''shrouded'''.

;''locking mechanism''
:The component that restricts the shackle until the correct [[key]] or [[combination]] is used. Modern padlocks do not interface directly with the shackle but instead use an [[actuator]] to do so. [[Pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] locking mechanisms are the most popular on padlocks worldwide. Many padlocks use locking designs that provide a [[key retaining]] mechanism.

;''shroud''
: The portion of a padlock body that covers or conceals the shackle or bolt. Padlocks that use a shroud are referred to as "shrouded" and help defend against certain forms of [[destructive entry]].

A '''safe''' (or '''coffer''', '''strongbox''') is a [[Lock|lockable]] enclosure used for storing valuables against theft or damage. Safes provide burglary or environmental protection but rarely excel in both. Likewise, the [[Security_Ratings|security rating]] of a safe is divided between burglary and environmental protection categories.

Vaults and strongrooms are essentially large safes, though their construction and security needs are different.

==History==

[[Image:Carved_Oak_Chest.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Renaissance era oak safe.]]

Safes have existed in various forms for thousands of years. As with locks, it wasn't until the late 1700s that security became the primary concern. Prior to this, the design and manufacturing of a safe was, for the most part, an artistic endeavor. The history of safes and their advancement closely parallels advances in metallurgy and the design of locks.

Ancient and medieval safes were built of wooden chests, with later versions bound by iron bands. These early safes were mostly artistic, often having detailed carvings and precious materials inlaid on their surfaces. Many safes of this era were markedly complex, with some having several dozen locking bolts. Despite their complexity, most could be easily [[Lockpicking|picked]] or [[Destructive_Entry|forced]] open.

[[Image:Lockwiki_Safe_antique.jpg|right|thumb|200px|17th century German safe; complex bolt mechanism.]]

As safes became heavier and more complex, the upward opening chest model became too difficult to open and close. Safes transitioned to outward swinging doors mounted to the side of the container. Safes began to use to full metal bodies, first with iron and then steel. Safes became wood completely encased in metal sheets that were riveted together, then full metal safes that were poured or molded to shape.

The refinement of metallurgy techniques led to the combination of additional metals with steel. These combinations strengthened the steel in many ways. Copper, for example, can be used to provide heat transfer or corrosion resistance. In the early 1800s, fire-resistant safes were introduced. Prior to this safes did not protect against fire, and often helped destroy valuables stored within by being made of heat conductive materials. Though a patent was filed by Richard Scott in 1801 for fire-proofing a safe, it does not appear that it was put to use.

[[Image:Electronic_safe_internals.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Locking mechanism and main board of an electronic safe.]]

Many modern safes use electronics rather than a lock or dial, to lower manufacturing costs and prevent manipulation, however they often include a standard lock as a reset function. They function in the same way as standard safes, but use an electronic solenoid to prevent the bolt from retracting.



== Burglary Safes ==

Burglary safes are designed to protect against various forms of [[safecracking]], particularly [[destructive entry]] in the form of explosives and drilling, and non-destructive manipulation techniques such as [[lockpicking]], [[impressioning]], and [[decoding]]. The level of security offered by a burglary safe depends on the types of attacks it is designed to withstand and the duration it is expected to provide security. Burglary safes typically resist attack for as little as 5 minutes and up to 20 hours or more.

Burglary safes are commonly bolted down, built into a wall or floor, or surrounded by concrete to prevent physical removal of the safe, a historically popular technique.

== Fire Safes ==



A fire-resistant safe is is designed to protect contents from high temperatures or actual fire. Fire resistant safes are usually rated by the amount of time they can withstand extreme temperatures while not exceeding a set internal temperature. Models are typically available that resist heat between half-hour and four-hour durations.

In the USA, Both the standards writing and testing of fire-resistant safes is performed by Underwriters Laboratories.

==Vaults and Strongrooms==

[[File:CFRB_vault_door.jpeg|right|thumb|300px|Vault door at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland]]

The primary difference between a safe, a vault, and a strongroom is that safes are movable. Vaults and strongroom are integral to the building they are located in. A vault is a secure room or series of rooms. Many buildings contain vaults, though they are usually associated with banks. Large businesses, military buildings, casinos, and schools often have vaults to protect valuables, intellectual property, and dangerous objects. The name ''vault'' comes from the fact that these rooms were often in the basement of the building where the ceilings were ''vaulted''. Strongrooms are basically smaller, less secure vaults. They were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before construction methods made large vaults possible.

Burglary safes are designed to protect against various forms of [[safecracking]], particularly [[destructive entry]] in the form of explosives and drilling, and non-destructive manipulation techniques such as [[lockpicking]], [[impressioning]], and [[decoding]]. The level of security offered by a burglary safe depends on the types of attacks it is designed to withstand and the duration it is expected to provide security. Burglary safes typically resist attack for as little as 5 minutes and up to 20 hours or more.

Burglary safes are commonly bolted down, built into a wall or floor, or surrounded by concrete to prevent physical removal of the safe, a historically popular technique.

== Fire Safes ==



A fire-resistant safe is is designed to protect contents from high temperatures or actual fire. Fire resistant safes are usually rated by the amount of time they can withstand extreme temperatures while not exceeding a set internal temperature. Models are typically available that resist heat between half-hour and four-hour durations.

In the USA, Both the standards writing and testing of fire-resistant safes is performed by Underwriters Laboratories.

==Vaults and Strongrooms==

[[File:CFRB_Vault_Door.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Vault door at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland]]

The primary difference between a safe and a vault or strongroom is that a safe is moveable, whereas a vault or strongroom is integral to the building it's located in.

Strongrooms are basically smaller, less secure vaults. They were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before construction methods made large vaults possible.

A '''safe''' (or '''coffer''', '''strongbox''') is a [[Lock|lockable]] enclosure used for storing valuables against theft or damage. Safes provide burglary or environmental protection but rarely excel in both. Likewise, the [[Security_Ratings|security rating]] of a safe is divided between burglary and environmental protection categories.

Vaults and strongrooms are essentially large safes, though their construction and security needs are different.

==History==

[[Image:Carved_Oak_Chest.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Renaissance era oak safe.]]

Safes have existed in various forms for thousands of years. As with locks, it wasn't until the late 1700s that security became the primary concern. Prior to this, the design and manufacturing of a safe was, for the most part, an artistic endeavor. The history of safes and their advancement closely parallels advances in metallurgy and the design of locks.

Ancient and medieval safes were built of wooden chests, with later versions bound by iron bands. These early safes were mostly artistic, often having detailed carvings and precious materials inlaid on their surfaces. Many safes of this era were markedly complex, with some having several dozen locking bolts. Despite their complexity, most could be easily [[Lockpicking|picked]] or [[Destructive_Entry|forced]] open.

[[Image:Lockwiki_Safe_antique.jpg|right|thumb|200px|17th century German safe; complex bolt mechanism.]]

As safes became heavier and more complex, the upward opening chest model became too difficult to open and close. Safes transitioned to outward swinging doors mounted to the side of the container. Safes began to use to full metal bodies, first with iron and then steel. Safes became wood completely encased in metal sheets that were riveted together, then full metal safes that were poured or molded to shape.

The refinement of metallurgy techniques led to the combination of additional metals with steel. These combinations strengthened the steel in many ways. Copper, for example, can be used to provide heat transfer or corrosion resistance. In the early 1800s, fire-resistant safes were introduced. Prior to this safes did not protect against fire, and often helped destroy valuables stored within by being made of heat conductive materials. Though a patent was filed by Richard Scott in 1801 for fire-proofing a safe, it does not appear that it was put to use.

[[Image:Electronic_safe_internals.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Locking mechanism and main board of an electronic safe.]]

Many modern safes use electronics rather than a lock or dial, to lower manufacturing costs and prevent manipulation, however they often include a standard lock as a reset function. They function in the same way as standard safes, but use an electronic solenoid to prevent the bolt from retracting.

The '''No. 140''' is a [[pin-tumbler]] [[padlock]] made by [[Master Lock]]. The No. 140 is a solid body padlock with an inner cylinder that uses four pin stacks and contains spooled [[security pin]]s.

__TOC__
<br clear=all>

== Principles of operation ==

:''See also [[Pin-tumbler#Principles_of_Operation|Pin-tumbler (Principles of Operation)]]''

The No. 140 cylinder is a [[pin-tumbler]] lock with four pin stacks and one or more spooled [[security pin]]s in various chambers. Older versions of the lock use one spool pin in the third chamber. The No. 140 can only be opened by rotating the [[plug]] clockwise.

== Disassembly instructions ==

The No. 140 cannot be disassembled non-destructively; to disassemble it the lock must be sawed in half. The lock is nonfunctional once disassembled because the padlock body acts as the cylinder for the lock.

== Vulnerabilities ==

The 140s reduced pin-tumbler count and poor manufacturing tolerances allows it to be easily picked by low skill attackers despite having spool pins. It is commonly used in [[locksport]] groups and an introductory lock for beginners to learn about defeating security pins. The No. 140 may be vulnerable to one or more of the following:

* [[Lockpicking]]
* [[Key bumping]]
* [[Impressioning]]
* [[Bypass]]
* [[Destructive entry]]

[[File:Schlage padlock.jpg|thumb|right|text-top|A [[Schlage]] brand brass body padlock.]]

A '''padlock''' is a portable [[lock]] used to restrict access to an area or enclosure or prevent an object from being removed from an area. Padlocks are widely used in everyday life in both low and high security installations. In popular use, padlocks are used on lockers, gates, fences, hasps, and chains to secure a wide variety of objects and areas.

Padlocks can use a variety of locking designs, but [[pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] mechanisms are the most common. [[Lever]] padlocks were also popular at one time, but use has dwindled in most parts of the world in favor of pin-tumbler or warded mechanisms.

__TOC__

== History ==
The earliest padlocks were from the Roman era, from 500 BC to 300 AD.

Through the last several hundred years, padlocks have become far more advanced than their earlier ancestors. Whereas many of the earlier padlocks were little more than poorly wrought designs that could be bypassed easily, today we have padlock that incorporate high-security cylinders, restricted keyways, high-strength materials and components, and ever more advanced measures of security. For instance, some of the padlocks manufactured by [[Sargent and Greenleaf]] incorporate ceramic plates into the body of the lock, providing increased protection against attacks from drilling and freezing the lock body to extreme temperatures.

Most padlocks share a common design theme. This common design has spread in use to indicate a secure connection on a website, with a symbol of a locked padlock in the status bar of a web browser.

== Parts of a padlock ==

;''shackle, bolt''
: A rod made of a hardened material (typically steel) that is affixed to an object, usually a hasp, fence, or chain. The shackle is responsible for keeping the padlock connected to whatever it is attached to. This is the weakest part of the padlock in [[forced entry]] as the unprotected bolts can often be cut using bolt cutters. See [[bolt]] for more information.

;''body''
:The part of the padlock that surrounds the locking mechanism and most of the shackle. More secure padlocks attempt to conceal as much of the shackle as is possible to prevent various forms of [[forced entry]]. Padlocks designed in this manner are referred to as '''shrouded'''.

;''locking mechanism''
:The component that restricts the shackle until the correct [[key]] or [[combination]] is used. Modern padlocks do not interface directly with the shackle but instead use an [[actuator]] to do so. [[Pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] locking mechanisms are the most popular on padlocks worldwide. Many padlocks use locking designs that provide a [[key retaining]] mechanism.

;''shroud''
: The portion of a padlock body that covers or conceals the shackle or bolt. Padlocks that use a shroud are referred to as "shrouded" and help defend against certain forms of [[destructive entry]].

A '''padlock''' is a portable [[lock]] used to restrict access to an area or enclosure or prevent an object from being removed from an area. Padlocks are widely used in everyday life in both low and high security installations. In popular use, padlocks are used on lockers, gates, fences, hasps, and chains to secure a wide variety of objects and areas.

Padlocks can use a variety of locking designs, but [[pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] mechanisms are the most common. [[Lever]] padlocks were also popular at one time, but use has dwindled in most parts of the world in favor of pin-tumbler or warded mechanisms.

__TOC__

== History ==
The earliest padlocks were from the Roman era, from 500 BC to 300 AD.

Through the last several hundred years, padlocks have become far more advanced than their earlier ancestors. Whereas many of the earlier padlocks were little more than poorly wrought designs that could be bypassed easily, today we have padlock that incorporate high-security cylinders, restricted keyways, high-strength materials and components, and ever more advanced measures of security. For instance, some of the padlocks manufactured by [[Sargent and Greenleaf]] incorporate ceramic plates into the body of the lock, providing increased protection against attacks from drilling and freezing the lock body to extreme temperatures.

Most padlocks share a common design theme. This common design has spread in use to indicate a secure connection on a website, with a symbol of a locked padlock in the status bar of a web browser.

== Parts of a padlock ==

;''shackle, bolt''
: A rod made of a hardened material (typically steel) that is affixed to an object, usually a hasp, fence, or chain. The shackle is responsible for keeping the padlock connected to whatever it is attached to. This is the weakest part of the padlock in [[forced entry]] as the unprotected bolts can often be cut using bolt cutters. See [[bolt]] for more information.

;''body''
:The part of the padlock that surrounds the locking mechanism and most of the shackle. More secure padlocks attempt to conceal as much of the shackle as is possible to prevent various forms of [[forced entry]]. Padlocks designed in this manner are referred to as '''shrouded'''.

;''locking mechanism''
:The component that restricts the shackle until the correct [[key]] or [[combination]] is used. Modern padlocks do not interface directly with the shackle but instead use an [[actuator]] to do so. [[Pin-tumbler]] and [[warded]] locking mechanisms are the most popular on padlocks worldwide. Many padlocks use locking designs that provide a [[key retaining]] mechanism.

;''shroud''
: The portion of a padlock body that covers or conceals the shackle or bolt. Padlocks that use a shroud are referred to as "shrouded" and help defend against certain forms of [[destructive entry]].

[[Image:Lockwiki_Keys.jpg|thumb|350px|A variety of different keys.]]

A '''key''' is a physical object that is used to open a [[lock]]. Keys are inserted into a lock to cause internal components to align, allowing the lock to open. In [[Electronic_lock|electronic]] locks, keys may transmit information electronically rather than manipulate physical components. Some keys are [[Key patent expiration dates|patent protected]] to prevent unauthorized manufacturing of keyblanks.

Because of their use, keys have become symbolic of knowledge, power, responsibility, and trust. Keys have been used in countless pieces of art and literature throughout history, especially in religion. The papal insignia and the symbol of St. Peter are two such examples.

[[Image:Lockwiki_Key_front.jpg|thumb|125px|Master Lock key, front.]]
[[Image:Lockwiki_Key_back.jpg|thumb|125px|Master Lock key, back.]]

; Bitting
: The part of the key that makes contact with internal components. Cuts on the bitting allow internal components to be moved to different positions.

; Blade
: The shaft of the key which holds the wards, bitting, and cuts.

; Bow
: The handle which is used to turn the key. Commonly contains the lock manufacturer's logo, the keyway type, and key codes. Bows are generally patented, allowing keys to be quickly associated with certain manufacturers.

; Code(s)
: Characters stamped on the bow of the key that define what the cut depths for the key are or what model the keyway is. Some keys, mainly those used in inexpensive locks, have a ''direct'' code stamped on them, facilitating easy copying. Other keys have an ''indirect'' code that must be translated through the use of codebooks in order to copy the key.

; Cuts
: The cuts made on the bitting of the key. Cuts are used to properly align internal components of the lock, allowing the key to actuate the locking mechanism and unlock the lock.

; Keyway
: The profile of the key created by the blade and the wards. This is the inverse of the keyway of the lock.

; Shoulder
: The part of the key that connects the bow to the blade. The shoulder is commonly responsible for stopping the key from being inserted further, allowing the cuts to be properly aligned in the lock.

; Tip
: The end of the key opposite of the bow. Some locks use the tip of the key to align cuts instead of the shoulder.

; Warding
: Distortions to the blade of the key to prevent it from being used in a lock with a different keyway. [[Warded]] locks use this as their primary means of security.

== Types of Keys ==

; Single Bitted
: The traditional key with one set of cuts on the bitting.

; Multi Bitted
: A key with several sets of cuts, thus giving them multiple bitting surfaces. Common in [[high security locks]] that have auxilliary locking mechanisms, such as a [[Sidebar|sidebar]].

; Convenience
: A key with duplicate cuts but only one actual bitting surface, allowing the key to be functional when inserted in any orientation.

; Cruciform
: A key that has four bittings, giving it a star shaped tip. May not actually use all four, like a convenience key.

; Transponder Key
: A key that has an electronic transponder in the bow of the key that transmits a code to a receiver in the lock. Most commonly seen in automotive keys. Requires specialized equipment to copy.

; Valet Key
: A special type of automotive key that can be used by a valet driver. Typically, a valet key can operate the doors and ignition of a car, but can't open the glove compartment or trunk.

; Blank Key
: A key that has had no bitting cuts applied to it. "Blanks" are a common locksmithing item used for duplicating keys, [[impressioning]], and creating [[Bumping|bump keys]].

== Manufacturing of Keys ==

Non-electronic keys are made with aluminum, brass, iron, nickel-silver, steel, or zamak. The material used depends on the type of lock and the required durability and longevity of the key.

Most keys are duplicated using a key-cutting machine. These machines can copy a key using a working key or by inputting the bitting code of the desired key. Manual key copying machines are available but uncommon. Many key machines use the original key as a template to control the cutting mechanism to duplicate the bitting onto a blank key. Key machines, regardless of duplication method, include one or more cutting wheels and a deburring wheel to clean and smooth the edges of a newly-cut key.

== Compromise of Keys ==

The compromise of a key or keying system may constitute a serious vulnerability in a locking system. Keys that are examined, borrowed, or stolen can be [[Impressioning|impressioned]] or [[Decoding|decoded]]. Analysis of keys within a [[Master_Key|master]] system may also contribute to compromise of the overall system, depending on the specifics of the system and the key obtained.

Key coding machines allow a locksmith to make duplicates of a key without an original. These machines operate by using the key code that is often stamped on the bow of a key to make a duplicate, using a known appendix of cutting depths and keyways.
