alxfer Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Have a Wagner cylinder key which I need help finding the blank for. It has a profile of 16HL (Davenports ident) which was too long so I ground it to the correct length, but although it went into the lock, it didn't work. It has a squared round top. Any thoughts anyone? I had previously tried a WMS 7 which was pretty close length wise but didn't work. By the way, the Housing chap needed 8 of them, and none worked!

hibsjo(SCO) Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 If you click the DB link it will take you into there site and onto online catalogue there you will find most keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 The WAG 1 is too short and as I remember so is the ML1. Davenports online catalogue only lists the WAG1 for Wagner keys. I'll get a photo of it along with the usual suspects so you can see. Now where is the digital camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auto Key Wizard Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 It can't be Wagner then as there is only one Try WMS8 as this is six pin or post up a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Here we have the Crimewatch line up of the usual suspects for a blank for the Wagner Wagner original is on the left with ML1, WMS8, WAG1 and 16HL. The WMS7 is missing but is the same length as the 16HL. As I mentioned I cut it on a 16HL but had to grind it down. Any thoughts are most welcome. Has anyone else had cause to adapt a blank in this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Looks like an ml1 to me, Never been a believer in grinding down blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windycity Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 hi chaps use the ml1 like 900 said but to make it a tad longer line up by end of blank and cut off some shoulder, could be worth a try regards paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thanks guys, I'll try that this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxfer Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well, I tried that idea that morning, but eventually when the surveyor for the housing association came back it was a no go. Friend in the trade said try a UL2. I've cut it but Christmas holiday has interrupted the outcome. I cut 3 keys for 3 different standard locks that I keep in the shop, all OK, so my machine seems to be cutting alright. Will keep you posted.

alxfer Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Result! Joy oh joy, my customer came in with the actual lock. Within 10 minutes I had got 8 new keys cut for it. It turned out that the UL2 was the right choice. Thanks to those who gave advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
