Good. What's this key? *holds up key*. It's to my house. I have
only one copy and cannot find someone to make another copy. I haven't
yet gone to a real locksmith, but I tried hardware stores and Wal-Mart
and the like. They happily make copies, and then happily take them
back when they don't work.

If you can snap an image of it and email it to me, I would be able to
determine a lot more about it. (Both sides would be even better, and
closer is better also as long as it's in focus. Also helpful is if you
can stick the tip of the key into some modeling clay or play dough,
carefully pull it out and snap a pic of that as well since it seems to
be an odd key.)
Short of that, do you see any letters or numbers on the key?
I'm guessing that it is not a normal key blank. It may be Yale, Master,
or some other. Without knowing more, I'm stuck.
