No locksmithing, and nothing about defeating a lock.

Not the lawfulness of anything

Whether making, holding or selling any key or key blank is lawful is not determined on these pages, for anybody.

Not locksmith licensing

Which is a state matter and varies, and which is what actually governs who may do this work.

Not restricted keyways

Which are a commercial arrangement rather than a legal one, and nothing here describes how they operate.

Not key duplication

Nor whether any mark such as do not duplicate has any legal effect, which is a question this property does not answer either way.

Not anything about defeating a lock

Which is a line this property does not approach, and is worth stating on a page about lock parts.

Not the rest of the criminal code

One section is quoted and it is a theft and forgery provision about postal keys. Other provisions exist and none is described.

And not the penalties beyond the sentence quoted

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both. Which is quoted and not interpreted.

What is here is one page of law

The narrow category the statute describes, the intent element in its second limb, and the fact that it says nothing about packaging.

And five pages of container

Which is the honest weighting for a group whose federal provision is about a crime.

The container question has two halves

Static for the light steel parts and scratching for the blanks, and the material answers both.

Plus the small end, which this shelf has

60 of the 251 containers under 60 mL and 22 under 30, which is what a sorted set of pins and springs needs.

And the usual buying position

159 of 251 available, 93 quote only, 65 full case only, with case packs from 12 to 6,370.

Which is a short property and a complete one

Because there is not more to say, and padding it would be the error.

18 U.S.C. 1704, which provides in part: "Whoever steals, purloins, embezzles, or obtains by false pretense any key suited to any lock adopted by the Post Office Department or the Postal Service and in use on any of the mails or bags thereof, or any key to any lock box, lock drawer, or other authorized receptacle for the deposit or delivery of mail matter"; and "Whoever knowingly and unlawfully makes, forges, or counterfeits any such key, or possesses any such mail lock or key with the intent unlawfully or improperly to use, sell, or otherwise dispose of the same"; and "Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both." This is a theft and forgery provision and says nothing about containers, labeling or packaging. Nothing on these pages addresses the lawfulness of making, holding or selling any key or key blank, locksmith licensing, restricted keyways or key duplication. law.cornell.edu

Written from 18 U.S.C. 1704 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section is a theft and forgery statute about keys to Postal Service locks and says nothing about containers, labeling or packaging; it is quoted because it is the federal provision that names a key. Nothing here addresses the lawfulness of making, holding or selling any key or key blank, locksmith licensing, restricted keyways, key duplication, or whether any mark has legal effect, and nothing here would assist anybody in defeating a lock. This shelf is shared identically by nine groups and the sewing notions property enumerates the inventory.
