Interesting article on duplicating keys from photographs:

A similar technique was used a while back to duplicate a set of master keys from pictures on the Diebold website

A somewhat lower-tech approach as well:

I read on theregister.co.uk that the software written to re-create the key only works on yale keys, as there are far too many types of keys on the open market for the system to know them all.
it will be a few years i guess before they have a huge collection.

One such lower-tech approach might include lock bumping.

High security assets ought not be secure with yale locks IMHO.

Hrmm I wonder if one approach or the other would leave more or less physical signs of the lock being opened. Sounds like its time for an experiment Smiley
