I think the best you could do just be examining the lock without opening it would be to figure out the wards (equivalent to figuring out what key blank the key is cut from). I'm not sure what sort of "scanning" would tell you where all the pin shear points were, which would be necessary to cut (or print) the notches into the key at the right depths.
- sitkack 11y agoHow many pins? What number of heights for shear points? The pins resting height must have some correlation with length (weight) reducing the search space and the number of keys or key-fragments that need to get built. I am talking about getting a sensor _into_ the lock not just looking at the outside. http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joachim_Hornegger/publication/43350135_Time-of-Flight_3-D_endoscopy/links/0fcfd50dedc6e1ebc3000000.pdf http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joachim_Hornegger/public...
- sokoloff 11y agoThe pin resting height on common locks are constant. A spring drives the top pin against the bottom pin against the bottom of the column. Without moving the pins, you don't get any info. If you can move the pins, you might as well just have the "sensor" pick the lock...
