Friant D/S Desk Lock Keys

This first picture is of a "W012" key for a Friant brand desk lock:

...and THIS is a picture of a key that was produced for a "W011" lock:

Specs for cutting these by code (usually done by decoding the lock as we do not have en entire series on record yet):

• Blank# Taylor# X114 (Ilco# DA24)
  
  • 1st-- .100
  • Spcg-- .090  [.100 - .190 - .280 - .370 - .460 - .550 (- .640 - .730)] 
    • 1- .260
    • 2- .240
    • 3- .220
    • (the 7th cut at .640 would either be for giving a reference point to trim the tip of the key [using a "2" depth] or to provide a control cut for an extractor key, at which point the 8th cut at .730 would be the reference point for trimming the tip of the key)

Duplication can be achieved by shaving ~.008" off of both sides of the blank (using the Framon machine, thus bringing the blank to a .260" width) and lining the original and key blank along the bottom of the chucks.

Available codes (please add to these as we get new ones):

• MK-W-- 123222
• XK-W-- 1232221 (can only be used when desk lock is turned as far clockwise as possible)
• W011-- 221311
• W012-- 112311
• W052-- 113231
• W126-- 132232
• W179-- 213123
• W189-- 133223
• W190-- 211323
• W196-- 222323
