Yes, in many cases, a key can be cut without the original, but it depends on the type of key and the information available. A locksmith may be able to make a new key by using the lock code, decoding the lock, or disassembling the lock to read the cuts.
For standard house or commercial keys, this is often possible with the right tools. For automotive keys, cutting the key is only part of the process, since many vehicle keys also need chip or remote programming to start the car.
