tommy Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Guys, Hope you can help with identifying or supplying these 2 French keys, I'm afraid I only have the photos and no measurements as customer has contacted me online and sent the photos. I have seen these before though and hope you have too. One is a precut French style rim key and although the other is not a safe key i would cut it from a safe key except the bit is wider than most and thicker to accommodate the bullet groove Thanks in advance Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock Stock Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 The cast key is a Nemef (photos 2,4,5,6) they a precut and in the JMA and Silca key books. I'm not sure about the other blank it could of been a number of things originally. Tillneys do a few Chubb blanks that have extra wide bits also some other multipurpose ones to. If can get a gauge I might have some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nemef key is Gauge 4 and the ones in the SKS book are Gauge 2 The other key is Gauge 5 and the bit is 20mm in width and 11mm deep and the groove (which I can cut) is on the right side looking down from the top of the shank Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
