How do I remove this logo from my key? Sandpaper or something?

That key unlocks any Lowe's store in existence, but only by the power of the logo that has been placed upon it. Removing it breaks the spell. Don't do this.

Sandpaper or plastidip that part of the key.

Bench grinder or a Dremel if you have one. Follow that up with sand paper for a nice, smooth finish.

That key is brass, though, with a nickel plating. Once you remove 1/128" of the surface, it's going to look coppery and then full on brass.

GL.

A file would be my choice. Too soft and small to bother getting out a power tool for

If you're doing it to look better though, yeah, it's plated brass so it'll look weird. You won't be able to get it duplicated anywhere because they won't know if you filed off a 'do not duplicate' stamp.

Goto Lowes® and pick a different key out of kiosk that doesn't have their logo and pay the extra 97¢ next time you make a duplicate.

get an engraver? I like the idea of the file, but I think it might be time consuming. Dremel best bet

Two to three minutes is too time consuming? Damn.

Go to home depot and make a copy of the key then throw that one away.

Go to a local store that has quality key blanks and quality cutting machines.

The place I go to has Ilco keyblanks. So much better than typical hardware store blanks.
I replaced a MinuteKey and an Ace branded key. The Ilco is great and the branding isnt abhorrent

Christ. Why even bother?

You won't be able to get it duplicated anywhere because they won't know if you filed off a 'do not duplicate' stamp.

What if you took it to one of those automated key copying kiosks?

No, its obviously a kwikset.
"Do not duplicate" keysets like the Kaba peaks dont actually sell blank keys to locksmiths. Its illegal to posses them in certain circumstances.

No an automated kiosk wont work either

Also automated kiosks and aloof people working at hardware stores is why its a really poor idea to stamp "do not duplicate" on a standard key.

Ok, that was pretty damn funny. Collect 2 (you)s.

It doesn't seem terribly difficult to mill out sheet metal to make a key.

>>1054759
fyi, you can make a working copy of a key from a nice clear photo like this. Hope no one figures out what this unlocks.

Ball/rake pick 5 min tops to open, probably within 2..

Good luck with that shit-tier lock OP..

Don't bother copying that crap, trash it and buy quality locks
