Cyber Lock Keys

Due to the modifications that were still needed for this, it is (at this time) recommended that the price remain $4.99 per copy to make these.

In May of 2015, we received a request for copies of a key marked "CC822" for some podiums at BJC.  A lock was brought in for us to test our copies (similar to the lock shown in the next two pictures; this one had a code of "CC0001").

The first time we tried Ilco #252/HD108; it was lined up on a manual machine and ground down on both sides to go in easier (originally charged $4.99 per copy).

The latest time (June of 2015), we tried some other blanks and found Ilco #X179/SUZ12 and #X256/YM47 will work when modified by 1) cutting ~.015 inches from both sides and 2) cutting down the shoulders, duplicating them on a manual machine [failure to cut down the shoulders will not allow the key to go in as far as they should].  After one is cut on these blanks, second generation copies can be made from these 1st generation ones by lining them up according to their side mills.  Due to the modifications that were still needed for this, it is (at this time) recommended that the price remain $4.99 per copy to make these.

Also, it is good to note that Easy Keys (easykeys.com) has this series of keys and the blanks are available from them.  If this becomes more popular, it may be time to order a sample or two and see if we can find a corresponding Ilco number.
