Copying Keys via a Mold and Cast Attack

There are a variety of ways to copy a key... a simple duplicator with a blank is what most folk have used when they've needed a key in the past. In our training courses, we also talk about stamping, hand-filing, and using code-cutter machines.
But all of these techniques rely on your ability to source (or at least replicate) a particular manufacturer's key blank. What if you encounter a particularly obscure lock design or are trying to duplicate a key from a system where the blank is not readily accessible to you?
In such instances, making a negative mold of the target key and then reproducing it with hot metal casting is a technique that can work... right there in the field!
Watch your fingers and don't burn your hands... this is a pretty great tactic when nothing else may work. Look on RedTeamTools.com soon for parts kits that help you facilitate such techniques. Good luck!

    I'm trying to think of ways if necessary you could get something like this through security that is somewhat diligent. I'm thinking large Zippo style lighter could be fashioned that contains the heating element and a small amount of gas (slightly more than enough to melt the metal), while the rest of the light is actually the clamshell for the mold. That covers the lighter and mold relatively simply but the crucible and raw metal would be a bit harder to sneak though. First thing that popped into mind is that they could be disguised as trinkets on a key chain. Tiny metal dice would be the material needed and then have the bowl of the crucible as one trinket and then have a small but intricate looking handle that could screw onto the bowl but looks like something pretty someone might attached to a key ring. That way aslong as they lighter and keyrings aren't looked at with intense scrutiny you could sneak the whole thing through a security check without raising any eyebrows

    It's cool that you're inspired to try this, but I would SERIOUSLY not recomend creating a duplicate car key in this fashion. Allow me please to list my reasons why I feel this way... 1. Car locks, in addition to being fragile, are also very expensive to service or in the worst-case replace. A key like this is a prime candidate for completely fouling up a car lock. 2. most modern cars have chipped keys. Trying to use a solid metal key that does not contain the necessary electronic chip component will in the best-case simply set off a car alarm, and in the worst-case disable the car entirely (temporarily) 3. creating a replacement key for a car should usually be something pretty trivial for most locksmiths, hardware stores, or (last resort) dealers... if you are not under time pressure and you are not on a covert entry job, wouldn't those avenues be more accessible? :-)

  • @Alan_Hans__

    The key in question may or may not be chipped. I've been to all of the local locksmiths and they can't decide if there is 1 in it or not. 1 scanned it and said there was and another scanned and said there wasn't. All 3 have told me that they can't get blanks for the key. It's a $400 car so I don't want to spend the earth on it. I've already had to break into the car once when she left the keys in the ignition and after mucking around for a while I hit upon a huge security flaw with a lot of hatchback cars. I now know how to get in to the car in about 20s but if she happens to lock the keys in whilst 100+ km away it would be easier if she had an emergency backup available.

    Thanks DO. Two questions: First, I didn't see you cut a vent when you imprinted the key. Was the vent a happy accident? Or did you do it in a subtle way I missed? Second: Did you use Wood's metal?

    Christian i was thinking exactly the same thing as if you were arrested with this in your possession you could hardly say 'i found it' or 'i picked it up'! I would have made the pouring lip indentation with a rounded implement like a pastry brush handle or some other such tool. You hardly want your 'dabs' immortalising in metal for posterity and incrimination evidence. What a rookie mistake and i am afraid it is back to spy school on this one! 😂😂😂

    Any time you're melting metal you should have a mask on, I assume you can do the same with a polymer but that would increase the complexity 10 fold. In the end PPE is probably the ultimate solution to your problem
