> asking them to convert them to a numeric code, easily retained, and produce copies...

This must be different from any key-cutting system I've ever seen. Any time I've ever gotten keys cut, the machine is setup with a jig, so they put the original on one side, and the blank on the other, and you trace the original against the guide, while the blank gets ground to match. I suppose they could cut an extra, but it'd be hard to do when I'm standing right there watching them.




Higher end key systems generally involve "code cutting" for making good duplicates, not merely copying.
