correct. proper u locks/chains/disc locks are not really cut by manual tools, and users of power tools do not care if you have sworn affadavits and a birth certificate required at the locksmith for key control.
the expense of key control is absolutely not worth it, i dont care what this locksmith says. the key control has really nothing to do with bike security. thieves are neither picking the lock nor duplicating your key while you are not looking.
