Technical Tony original Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi - I have found that the Yale locks have dropped their quality alot ! and sometimes the originals work (Just) and the next generation cut - however well your machines are set - just will not work. I had some new locks direct from Yale the other day and had 60 keys to cut ! So I decided to use one of the best machines around - the Silca Bravo Pro. 2 ... none of the keys worked ! in any of the jaws ! I tried the originals - and alot of them when turning the key - I found to be tight and some of them seemed like the pins were grinding inside ! 3 machines later I found a way to make these work - but only just !!!

Technical Tony original Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Its easy for me to say its not the JMA keys ! and Blame it on something else! I do no there were a few problems with a few locks / keys here and there - but it looks like all the keys now should work. Following on from """ QTE Hi - I have found that the Yale locks have dropped their quality alot ! """ I have still had problems with the Yales own keys not always working as well ! So really can not always be 100% sure why they are not always working ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
