tallchris Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hey guys, In all the 10 plus years I have been a shoe repairer I have never once come across a key like this. Im normally fairly good with keys but this one has me stumped. How could this even operate the lock?????? Its for a Spanish property, but its almost two key blanks welded together. Secondly the key is cut different on both sides. Its A JIS key blank. take a look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 These JIS/Cerraduras keys/locks are quite common in Spain. Especially on grills and shutters. I know my parents had a euro cylinder with this type of key on their front door until I keyed alike everything for them. The key has two blades to engage two rows of pins. This means you can have nine pins in a fairly short cylinder. They are sold as high security, but they are pretty easy to pick! Sorry; that's all just for info.... I have no idea where you would find a blank in the UK. They should be able to get a copy cut fairly easily back in Spain. If it is of any use; this is a link to the manufacturer: http://www.jis.es/quienessomos/index.php?idioma=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 My first thoughts where Bilock, but i think this is a cheap imitation. It just doesn't look right for a bilock key (i have acouple of locks on the shelf) as i have sold these in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 A Bilock would have more cuts on the blades and would be slightly shallower and more narrow. I think they have 12 pins, rather than the 9 on the Cerraduras. There is also a considerable difference in the picking difficulty. It's a Spanish design.... made in Spain.
