slippy Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just watch yourself on these keys. pritty sure i've cut vita on a jma u5d and didn't go in. Strange as it may seem but not all universal's are the same I do know that the JMA differs slightly. I use KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevE1965 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I emailed Chris at D.B. he said these blanks would be stocked in a few weeks, that was a few weeks ago, try contacting him, I used a UL!, no joy first time, shaved it down a little, presto it worked, not the ideal solution in the long term tho.

grahamparker Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Silca WMS2 fits perfectly. Stripped down 10 of these to key alike for a local glazing company a couple of weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 This is the vita key in question with the kitemark style logo.Used silca WMS2 Sorry only half key available as this was used to strip one of the cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 no joy first time, shaved it down a little, presto it worked, not the ideal solution in the long term tho. Shaving down a UL1? That's a ready made broken key if ever there was one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cjm Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sorry guys, I can only relay the information I am given. We did have some Vita keys in, but these were sent straight out. We've been told the manufacturer has discontinued them. And, our management have informed us that our UL1 will definitely work the locks, and it's been tested. So, that is what we have now been telling our customers, and stating it must be our UL1 blank. not JMA or any other manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 UL1 fits these locks without the diamond style logo, if it has the logo in my photo then UL1 will NOT fit. WMS2 Fits as stated earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
