Probably not, because most house locks are really crappy, so they're easily picked. Except they're almost never picked, because it's easier to just kick the door in.
I'm really not sure getting the bitting on a bunch of house keys would be of any use to burglars.
Spot on. Last year I decided to take up lock picking as a casual hobby. After reading up on the process and practicing on some old locks I had laying around, I decided to try to pick my own front door lock. I was able to pick it in under 3 minutes...
It was an moment of epiphany for me - I realized that door locks really only provide an illusion of security. Anyone who really wants to get into your house quickly can just avoid the lock all together by kicking in the door or breaking a window.
Can this machine copy my car key?
No. minuteKEY does not copy car keys at this time,
but can identify if your retailer can duplicate
them and provide you with the necessary information
to expedite the process.
I just made some keys at the hardware store, and the machine scanned the key and told me which blank to use.
Another concern: what if they get hacked? Does everyone then have to change their locks?
