ironplanet uk900 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Heres how to cut a new key for a garage door Cardale Lock, If you don't have the key number or a computerised key cutter. remove the retaining screw. Then remove the circlip & slid the barrel out. Then insert a blank key, in this case a LF85 The highest wafer sticking up is a cut Number 3, the wafers that are level with the body are a none cut (or 1), the ones inbetween are a cut 2. This keys cutting code is 33232211 This is how it should look when cut. The keys can be cut by hand if you are skillful enough, But you can get the depth keys from davenports to suit most locks. We do a fair bit of this type of work, helps build a good reputation and fend off some of the competition who won't look at this type of work. This is a common lock brought in to us, but remember the same applies to alot of these types of lock. I'll do a tutorial on making a key for a mortice lock & a yale type pin lock next.

Dean Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Nice one. (Even though I got the benefit of watching you do it in person ) I agree that sticking your neck out to do this type of work, builds customer confidence in your ability.
