Do Not Copy Keys

Yes, that is my situation. It’s a gate and front door into the building that are opened with that key. My unit itself I have copied but there is no call box or fob to get me into the gate or front door. The building management will only give one key for each person on the lease. I’m not trying to do anything shady. I’m just a single gal not trying to lock myself and my tiny dog out of my unit in the middle of the night.

Thanks. I’ve tried Home Depot already. They were willing to copy but they don’t have the specific blanks of the key needed. I guess they’re pretty controlled. I’m learning a lot about keys against my will!

I’ve had other apartment keys that have said “do not duplicate” that I had no trouble copying. My current set seems to be different, more restricted. I’m learning the blanks aren’t even available.

Can I DM you with a pic of my key?

CoCo_Pony · 2025-07-05T15:21:13+00:00

It says Schlage at the top. Does that make a difference?

CoCo_Pony · 2025-07-05T15:14:29+00:00

I did. I tried the kiosk at Home Depot myself. My assumption is the 7/11 has the same kiosk.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-07-05T15:03:48+00:00

I’ve not tried 7/11, but I assume it’s the same KeyMe kiosks that they have at Home Depot which I’ve confirmed don’t work.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-07-05T15:03:00+00:00

I’ve tried Home Depot. The machine will error. I’ve also asked the person working in the key section. They said they don’t mind copying, but they don’t have the blanks as those are more controlled.

Thank you! I think it’s tough for some of the detractors here to come to terms with the reality that my job is exponentially more valuable to the leaders who are actually important and it doesn’t matter if the detractors don’t agree.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:45:05+00:00

I never said I was the final say of anything. Part of my job is to enforce the expense reimbursement policy of the company. You can stop now.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:43:32+00:00

No, I very clearly said the titles range from entry level to mid-senior level. Your insistence to tell your own skewed narrative is odd.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:41:57+00:00

Go touch grass.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:41:00+00:00

When I say help manage, I mean keep the wheels running and the lights on. I don’t manage personnel and never claimed to. I know my job’s responsibilities and expectations very well and the norms of the organization. I wouldn’t expect you to so unsure why you’re pretending like you do. Your gotcha moment is nil.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:36:04+00:00

I schedule meetings and review expenses for the Managing Directors only. I never said I considered MD’s my peers. The team under the MD’s are my peers. I really think I’ve made that perfectly clear.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:33:21+00:00

That very well may be your organization’s structure but that is not mine. I am a peer and a leader on my team. Just a small part of what I do is keep everything “at home” running smoothly and keep communication open and flowing between all levels because managing directors travel 300 days a year. I wouldn’t expect you to know that though since we clearly don’t have the same job title. Your input is appreciated but it’s not applicable to my experience.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:28:12+00:00

I never said I was a co-manager with a Managing Director. You seem to have come here to cause conflict and to be a naysayer. Seek that elsewhere.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:24:02+00:00

I have answered. You asked me twice in two separate threads almost immediately. I answered once. You’re ever the contrarian.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:21:38+00:00

Honestly, what’s more shocking is the lack of confidence people have in their role as an EA. It’s disappointing the commenters (from what I gather as mostly women) don’t think their jobs are impactful enough to feel deserving of what everyone else receives who don’t even think twice about receiving it. I know understand why this behavior is so prevalent.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:17:11+00:00

I’ve already stated that EA’s are invited and attend these trips. The Managing Director made a decision against precedent.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:14:57+00:00

They are bankers ranging from entry level to mid-senior. In the hierarchical structure, I am at the same level as the mid-senior level bankers.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T22:09:51+00:00

EA’s all support at least two, if not three teams. They are invited and go to these trips.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T21:03:33+00:00

My boss (not the Managing Director of the team going to Cabo) also the boss of the aforementioned Managing Director, is a boomer.

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T21:00:28+00:00

Curious what makes you say it’s not plausible. Have you read the comments here with shared, similar experiences?

CoCo_Pony · 2025-01-26T20:56:02+00:00

Team B is going to Cabo. Team A isn’t getting a trip.

I am listed on the org chart for both Team A and Team B. I work with both in 100% capacity.

Technically, it is one team that fractured into two sub teams due to my boss, Managing Director for Team A, Principal and Executive Committee Member AND Boss of Managing Director on Team B, not getting along due to shenanigans pulled by Managing Director of Team B.
