The Blank Key is an uncut metal key waiting to be shaped. It is the raw material for copying a building key.
A spare key to a base is useful when several survivors share it. A copy also keeps a backup in case the original is lost. The blank is tiny and fits in a wallet.
Blank keys sit on the counters of tool stores and inside key cutting cases.
Using
The Copy Building Key recipe turns a Blank Key into a working Key. It needs a small file kept as the tool and the building key to copy, which is also kept. Only the blank is used up.
That makes copying a key quick and cheap once a file and a few blanks are at hand. Each copy opens the same doors as the original.
