Honest limits
Keys stamped DO NOT DUPLICATE are usually ordinary keys with a warning printed on them. Genuinely restricted keyways are patent-protected and can only be cut with documented authority, which is asked for.

Common questions
Why does my new key not work?
Most often it was copied from an already-worn key, so the copy inherits the wear. Cutting to code from the lock resolves it.
Can you cut a key with no original?
Yes, by decoding the lock or reading its code.
What about DO NOT DUPLICATE keys?
That marking has no legal force on an ordinary keyway. A genuinely restricted key requires documented authority, and that is requested.
