The “DO NOT DUPLICATE” stamping on the head of a key – Will it provide key control and prevent reproduction or duplication?
No. Most locksmiths will respect and maintain that it is an unethical and unprofessional practice to duplicate a key stamped “DO NOT DUPLICATE”. Although, many box stores, hardware stores, and discount outlets frequently have personnel who will not respect the “DO NOT DUPLICATE” marking or, will be provided false information by the customer and therefore will be misguided into reproducing or duplicating the key. To prevent unauthorized key reproduction or duplication, there are several manufacturers which produce high security keys and lock cylinders – Schlage Primus, Medeco, and Kaba Peaks are some products offered which provide superior quality Key Control and High Security Lock solutions.
