KeyMe Can Copy Your Key With a Photo, Make Copies at Local Kiosks
Android / iOS: nobody wants to call a locksmith. Whether you’re locked out of your home, or just want to order some simple copies, KeyMe lets you create duplicate keys that are either mailed to you or cut out at local kiosks .
Now, let’s get one thing straight right away: pins and toggle locks are so effective . Every time we see a service that wants to copy keys, there is an inner concern that it could be used for nefarious purposes. What if your neighbor decides to make a copy of your key? What if someone breaks into the company’s servers and steals the keys and then comes to your house? While it’s worth worrying, there are also very few situations where using a key copying application like this is easier than just stealing the key itself, picking a lock, or breaking a window. And it’s certainly easier than hacking into a remote server, just downloading a random person’s house key somewhere in the village and embarking on a home invasion journey. That said, if you’re worried, you can at least use this object lesson on how to easily get around common pin and toggle locks.
For everyone else, the service is pretty easy to use. You just take a picture of the key from the key ring at the top and bottom. Preferably on a white sheet of paper. Then you can save this image for future reference. You can order by mail in KeyMe any keys that you need for a long time. However, if you need one of these and have a KeyMe kiosk nearby , you can take a trip to the store to get a replacement when you need it.
