Do Not Duplicate Keys
Do Not Duplicate Key System – false security?
A key stamped with “do not duplicate” or “do not copy” may provide a sense of security, but in reality, it is all but useless in preventing unauthorized key duplication.
Many key duplication services do not enforce or adhere to these stamp markings and will readily make copies of such keys without any questions asked.
Additionally, the stamp itself does not possess any legal binding or enforceable power to prevent duplication. Therefore, relying solely on these markings to safeguard against unauthorized key copies is unreliable and leaves your security vulnerable.
It is crucial to employ more effective measures, such as restricted keyway locks, to ensure a higher level of key control and security.
Restricted Keyway Locks
Restricted keyway locks offer a superior alternative to keys stamped with “do not duplicate.” These locks incorporate specialized keyways that are designed and controlled by the manufacturer, limiting access to key duplication.
With restricted keyways, only authorized individuals can obtain duplicate keys, usually through a registered locksmith who possesses the necessary authorization and key blanks.
Restricted keyway locks significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized key copying and provides a more robust level of key control.
Restricted keyway locks offer an added layer of security, ensuring that only those with proper authorization can duplicate keys, bolstering the overall integrity and protection of your property.

-Morgan Casey
"We have used Apex numerous times over the years. He installed a security door with a buzzer, changed locks, removed a safe from one store and then installed it at a different store, made extra sets of keys.... Paul is wonderful and I will continue using his services for the years to come." - Karen Peters, Bimbo Bakeries
Installed a lock on my two drawer wood file cabinet. Good job. Works perfectly." - Ronald Coleman
