You could of course try UAp/Tradelocks direct?

http://www.tradelocks.co.uk/

then you would have the correct blank instead of a lump of metal that almost fits the hole

[Danny King]

Also try

HD TG1 & HD TAL1

 

Have seen theses with UAP on it

 

Or try http://www.universal-imports.com/

 

Friendly bunch

i got the answer from trade locks thanks

 

apparently UAP+ is a patented key and you can only use original blanks i presume its a bit like snapsafe by squire

they would say that then wouldnt they uap, tradelocks ,,universal,, all one company

 

not sure about that.. would like to see the blank to determine that ,,any chance of a pic

Been using ULO54 on those UAP keys for a few years without ANY problems.

 

Just make sure that the copy isn't slightly longer on the end.

I've never had any probs with UL2..

sometimes you get a ver tiny cut/scratch on one of the pins but they normally still work

[Guest thunderfix]

ive not got a pic as it was a customers only copy

 

like with squire snapsafe unless you use an original squire blank you will always get customers coming back saying they dont work as the universal key blanks are just slightly off camber

 

this was also confirmed by the squire rep, i had one customer in who who had been to 7 different key cutters wity the same problem. wasnt till he came to us and we gave him the original blank, he returned the day after and thanked me

 

 

and hence i said its UAP+ NOT UAP a new design by universal

[Mick Friend]

they will still sell you the blanks!

why fart about use the genuine blank - job done

The best blank for UAP standard 6 pin keys is ER6 Era.

However, the UAP is unusually wide in the blade and apparently there are keys

out there with a "no cut" pin, and these are the ones that give trouble.

We are looking at producing a suitable blank with a wider blade, but in the meantime,

using the fluting of the key and blank (rather than the back edge) to locate in the key machine,

may solve the problem.

the problem with the uap + is the height of the zero pin being higher than the YA17D blank and the U6D key blank both are the height naturally of a UAP+ No1 cut , the zero pin of which every lock has at least one in it is 0.42mm higher than the YA17D blank or so im told by the factory that makes them.

 

hope this helps

 

All UAP cylinders produced now have this 0 pin added , within the next 6 weeks all uap cylinders will be kitemarked as well as secure by design, both the budget and the UAP + locks will carry the kitemark, as they sell around 500,000 cylinders a year mostly into the upvc and door manufacturer market , these low cost kitemarked cylinders will be a very common lock especially in new builds, so may be worth getting a stock of blanks from them until a suitable blank is available cheaper .
