Worn Ford Tibbe

[Fast Fix Elgin]

Where would I find the cut depths for a well worn ford focus tibbe?

Owners manual, Dealership from the car reg, any thoughts????

[Mick Friend]

you should be able to work it out, althogh they wear down the difference should be there else there was a tag on the original key - this may have been recorded - else its a tibbe decoder

if totaly worn and unreadable you should still be able to read it otherwise pick lock open and decode or strip door lock down each disc is stamped witha a 1 2 3 or 4 and guess what thats the key code. dealers never seem to record the old tibbie although most hu101 seem to be recorded now dealer dependent.

You can usually read them even if they are worn. Needs a keen eye......... an eye glass in my case and a bit of luck.

De-code the door lock or, strip the ignition or, give it to a locksmith.

Bet thats from a mondeo.The ignition lock is slightly different to the focus and we see mondeo

keys like this all the time.

[ponsaloti]

I bet the tool said a couple of cuts different to the eye.

 

When I get them like this,my eye tells me 2, my gut tells me 1.

I then give it to the mrs , you know what happens next.

Fortunatly or unfortunatly she's 99% right.

it's the 1 & 2 cuts that are usually the trickiest.  I usually try 1 first and then cut down to a 2 if I got it wrong

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking a look and the tips. Best, Dave

A tip I use with really worn tibbe keys is to cut it a bit higher if your not sure.

Like if you cant be sure if its a 1 or 2, cut it as a 1 and try the key.

 

If it's a 2 cut, you will see impression marks.

 

I also find 1 cuts tend to wear the most.

Perhaps this may help as last resort.
