Then, I do nothing else—because I’m a pretty nice dude who is just
fascinated by this sort of thing. That said, however, the specific
measurements for any common brand of lock can be found online, and, with
a little experience, you can hand-file keys in only a few minutes. Just
search for “Depth & Space” charts. Those will tell you how far
apart to space your cuts and the possible depths you might find cut into
that type of key. Note that, while the space and depth will stay
consistent across a given brand, it’s up to you to figure out the
specific depths for your key.
Seriously guys, stop posting photos of your brand new house key in clear fidelity on multiple social media platforms. People with malicious intentions can easily walk into your no longer secured homes.
This is not a new thing. There was a furor with TSA luggage keys a few years back (last I checked, lockpick and lock enthusiasts have managed to decode and recreate most of the keys except for a couple).
Um..who the FUCK posts pictures of their HOUSE KEYS? Like. Who even does that?
Also, babies, please, your first rule of moving into a new place is “change the locks”. ALWAYS.
You would be fuckin amazed.
I’m married to a locksmith, remember, and he has had to explain this, at length, to so goddamn many people who can’t figure out how people broke into their house after posting pictures of their house keys to social media.
Fuck, I’m just married to a locksmith, and have picked up enough to be able to cut a house key that’ll have at least a 50% chance of unlocking a door off sight alone.
And people think I’m paranoid when I mention that literally the first thing we did when we bought the house was get the locks changed.
Shit when we got our place he went through and put in good locks, deadbolts, replaced the hinge screws with longer ones, replaced all the strike plates, replaced all the weather stripping, and put the code-unlock deadbolt on the back door so that we can leave the door lock unlocked and still get into the house if we lock ourselves out without other people being able to get in.
Oh and re-keyed the garage and installed padlocks (which he also re-keyed) on the doors so no one can break into that either.
He considers this the bare minimum, because “Well, if I was really going all in I’d install high-security locks.”

Canadian Indigenous water activist Autumn Peltier, 15, addressed hundreds of international guests at UN headquarters in Manhattan on Saturday, where she urged the global community to respect the sacredness and importance of clean water.
“I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: we can’t eat money or drink oil,” said the activist from Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island in northern Ontario.
Peltier spoke at the Global Landscapes Forum, a platform on sustainable land use founded by UN Environment and the World Bank that’s dedicated to achieving development and climate goals.
She used the speech to draw attention to the lack of clean water in numerous Indigenous communities, which she says sparked her activism.
“All across these lands, we know somewhere where someone can’t drink the water. Why so many, and why have they gone without for so long?”
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
