This is the exact technique I use. Except I use a square needle file turned 45°, then when the key is done I round the peaks a bit to reduce wear on the wafers.

Very good how-to! As for the door locks being more accurate, I’m not sure how true that is but the ignition tumbler usually has the key code stamped onto it so I prefer making the key to that, then testing on the doors. If the original door tumblers, I’ve found this to always work with keys that fit as they should.
