kobblers Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi folks. My rep has just given me JMA U26D blanks for the UAP locks saying they'll work in place of the UAP1. Is this correct? (So I know whetherr to send them back or not) Thanks, Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobblers Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks Derek. I always thought the JMA keys prefixed with U were universals Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I always understood that they are universals, but taller to cope with the UAP being higher. You would be better with the genuine blanks in my opinion, I have cut loads of these for master suites and KA where I had the locks to hand, they can be quite choosy about the keys and cutting and a genuine blank would give the best results. YMMV of course. Totally Agree, genuine blanks only for me as well for UAP keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 That's what I asked for but he said he had none on his van I suppose they're better than nothing for the time being Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 whats the difference between budget and up lift on genuine key blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 i used the original blanks in the beginning, but when your supplier stops stocking them you need an alternative, and tbh i can't remember having any problems with the U26D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&quay Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The last lot of Silca UAP 1 & UAP 2 blades have been exactly the same depth & therefore won't work if a high lift is required , But the U26D seem to work fine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathandealey Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 We've been supplying U-26D in place of UAPKB for quite a while now and I haven't had any customers report any problems. We also got some UAP cylinders in to test them before we started supplying them and again, didn't come across any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockandKey Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 We've been supplying U-26D in place of UAPKB for quite a while now and I haven't had any customers report any problems.We also got some UAP cylinders in to test them before we started supplying them and again, didn't come across any problems. UAP Euro cylinder review / appraisal I'd be careful about offering keys for UAP cylinders, they are seriously budget end 'Super Chinese' cheap but have managed to build them to anti snap TS007 1 star which makes them a bugger if they fail or a key snaps in the cylinder. Who is going to get the blame for the cylinder failing/key snapping? You - or UAP - either way I don't think your customer in your shop will be happy. We've tested the UAP cylinders and decided not to offer them to our customers - retail or trade #liable comments removed# There is a reason why ABS, Mul T Lock, Yale euro cylinders etc are more expensive than others you've never heard of - it's called experience and support. Sorry to sound boring as I hark back to the major suppliers - but sometimes you need to consider £3 margin Vs £125 replacement for a snapped key/failed cylinder/bad key cut.
