How would I make copies of keys that either say "Do not duplicate", are of that general type with like a locksmith business etched into it, or is some fancier "Best" Cormax brand?

I'm really close to getting into stable housing, been roughing it for a few years, and do custodial to make ends meet. There are a few keys that if I had copies of them would let me use a shower, toilet, A/C and a microwave for a few months then destroy the keys when I move in to a place.

Any ideas?

Sorry to ask, thank you for any direction or guidance you might be able to provide.

With a small metal file and a stack of key blanks, you could make your own copies of whatever you want.

I should add not ANY key you want. Higher security locks are going to require cuts that you may not be able to do with a generic key blank, but those are more likely to be found on corporate doors, than cheap "landlord special" locks.
