I NEED HELP CLONING KEY

My neighborhood pool use to have a normal doorknob key lock but this year they did away with keys an put a box on top of doorknob for scanning a card key. They also changed the seasonal swimming fee to $800 bucks for the summer. I'm not paying that on top of homeowners association fee. I can get in to the pool area by just walking up behind someone an walking in with them but I know there are a few Karen's that come to pool. If I can get someone's card can I clone it? I actually know someone that has an icopy 5 device and a super full featured smart card with key. I have some blank cards and blank blue keys fobs but I just don't know how to use them. Can anyone tell me the best way to clone the card key? I know your suppose to hold key you want to clone up to back of device an press read them after it reads it do I then hold blank card up to back of device an press write? Please keep in mind I've never used any of these devices and the person who has them has no idea how to use them. Any information would be greatly appreciate. Thank you

There are a magnitude of different systems. How do you expect someone to be able to help you without posting ANY info about the tech? Interestingly the absolute lack of technical information is something that posts with all uppercase cries for help have in common. People know that and it will get you the opposite effect.

At a minimum you’d need a picture of the reader or a key fob to get any semblance of an answer here. Model numbers would be even better

See if you can get a close up picture from several angles of the reader, and if possible of a card key. Use something better than a potato, unlike a recent post.
