grahamparker Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 If it was me I would ditch the Yale and use either Ultion or Federal Cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliflyer61 Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I know what your saying I can do ultion,abs,federal,and multlock but he insists so far on these cylinders I'll keep working on him cheers ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 There's a new estate going up near me (with a few hundred houses) that are having Yale Superior locks installed. So far I've been ordering them by code, being relatively new to my RST Mustang, I've not yet managed to cut one accurately on it. Does anyone know where I can get a cylinder from at a sensible price to practice on? I need to refine the technique, as it doesn't look very professional doing it with customer keys & saying "It might work, let me know" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to refine the technique, as it doesn't look very professional doing it with customer keys & saying "It might work, let me know" I cut them on the Mustang Steven and they have all worked except the very first one i did. The side bar cut is the hardest and i recommend using the shorter tipped slightly more expensive cutters that NW Keys sell. Always try and cut in stages rather than in one go to make the cutters last. They are no where near as accurate as you might think. I also mark the cuts that angle left when clamped in the machine with a red permanent marker makes cutting a lot easier. I have a magnum cylinder i can send you to practice on if you want.

Thanks for the tips & advice Graham, the practice cylinder would be really useful. Just need to be able to spend some time cutting a few keys to get the instant feedback of whether they are working or not, then being able to work out where we're going wrong.

LockandKey Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 If you need Yale Superior cylinders building to match existing key codes, you probably need a company that is Yale approved and has 5 Triax Quattros and 20,000 blanks in stock, and a pinning room, and 3,000 cylinders in stock, and they are MLA members. No idea who that could be maybe someone who can do more than cut keys and talk about low volume key machines? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Feel free to Google 'Yale Superior' my friend !

grahamparker Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Have Yale made massive improvements to the superior cylinders as the ones I have seen and pulled apart are CRAP polite word used. Overpriced Rubbish which you can say about most Yale products. kobblers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've seen a few where the pins have come out the casing of the cylinder. Wouldn't have one on my door just incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
