Reno Locksmith Company educating the public on "do not duplicate" keys

Have you ever received a key that is embossed with the words 'do not duplicate' or duplication prohibited?' If you have ever wondered what that really means, let our locksmiths help you.

Reno, NV (prHWY.com) August 26, 2012 - Have you ever received a key from a landlord or possibly your office that says 'do not duplicate?' You have probably wondered why this is there or why you cannot make any copies. Let us at Reno Locksmith help you understand why this stamp is on your key and what it really means.

The most common type of keys that have this stamp embossed on them are mail keys, amenity keys, or keys that lead to rooms that have confidential papers or objects in them. You will most likely run across these keys if you are renting a house from a landlord or renting an apartment at a large complex. They do this because they already have a large amount of copies made and there is no reason to have non-residents using their amenities such as their work out room or pool. (customer reviews)

The stamp of do not duplicate or duplication prohibited is usually placed there by a locksmith or a manufacturer. They place it there to prevent retail stores from cutting this key without authorization from the manufacturer or owner of the lock. They use this as an access control system for the owner of the key. With this stamp, it lets people know that this key should not be freely passed out or used without authorization.

Though this stamp is intended to keep the amount of copies of this key to a minimum, it is not impossible for someone to get this type of key duplicated. The real problem is that there is no legal implication in the United States that would really stop someone from copying this type of key. Due to this, the do not duplicate or duplication prohibited stamp actually supplies people with a false feeling of security. Yes, it may stop people from duplicating this key a large amount of times, but it will most likely still be duplicated at one point or another.

The only way this type of key supplies actual security is if the design of the key has a patent. If the manufacturer were to find out that their key was duplicated without permission, they could easily sue the person that had the key duplicated or the person/store that duplicated the key.
