Yet another New Yale Key

[Guest lee.]

We stock and use on a very regular basis both the infamous Yax5 ( never seem to have any problems with this one) , and the ever popular Yax1 ( Square head) , however had a customer in today with what at first inspection appeared to be a Yax1 key , but upon cutting it i soon realised that although same sqaure head shape , this was in fact a 6 pin Key , ended up using a UL2 , as this was all that seemed to be suitable .

Is this yet another version of the many new yale locks that we will be seeing come in through our doors , customer bought the lock from B&Q yesterday , in the past 3 keys were supplied with new locks , but it now seems that only 2 are being supplied with these new locks .

Any feedback , especially from our friends at Davenports would be of help , Wishing all on the Forum a Prosperous New Year , Andy

Was/is this a YALE or B&Q own brand?

[Guest lee.]

This was a branded YALE key , bought with the lock from B&Q last week

Could have been for one of the Yale 6 pin Euro cylinders.

These are YAX5 blanks but with the YAX1 head.

The YAX5 blank will suit.

i have seen these it catches you out at first until you look closer

i think the new yale key you had in you can use asec 6 pin cause i had one the other day and it worked fine, but i did throw me at first

I've had a few of these recently (i think!) Square head and very similar to Asec or Evva but never tried using Asec blank.
