Your locks won't. An AT&T security researcher found a way to create a master key (NYTimes) for a lock given access to a standard key and a number of blank, uncut keys.
He said he had tested Mr. Blaze's technique the way that he tests many of the techniques described in his book: he gave instructions and materials to a 15-year-old in his South Dakota town to try out. The teenager successfully made a master key.
