- dicekeys 6y agoCorrect. We believe a two-bit reduction in strength is a small price to pay to ensure you get the same key even if you scan the box at a different orientation (e.g. up-side down). We could have designed the software to try to recognize the top of the box, but the box for the steel version may look very different (or not be what you'd think of as a box at all.)
