After the key is cut, burrs are removed usually by buffing the key with a rotary wire brush either mounted on the key machine itself or on a grinding machine.
Different key cutting machines are more or less automated; they work with different milling or grinding devices and follow the design of key duplicators from the early 20th century. Cutting is available in many hardware stores and locksmith shops. The operation can be performed even when the original is missing.
Certain keys (such as Medeco products, for example) are designed to be difficult to be duplicated for greater protection against abuse. Others are labeled “Do Not Copy” indicating that they are under special control, but in most countries this instruction is not legally binding.
Each Toronto locksmith studio has a Key Cutter, but it matters who is safe to trust. The code of conduct obliges all members of the locksmith association to require some kind of identification from the client to ensure that they are not complicit in a crime.

While it may seem a little inconvenient, it is more correct to trust a locksmith who is too cautious than one who is not interested in what action will be taken with the copy made.
