The new key is then deburred, rubbed down with a wirebrush built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder to remove any burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
You will require a machine specifically designed to cut high-security keys. The machine is more expensive, but also very accurate. Bring the original key when you get these keys cut. Modifications in shape can render the key useless.

We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.
