keithm Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 The gauge doesnt like right to me and the bit looks a little wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Cut and file on a normal 5.5g lever blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Try using a chubb 3g114 blank, the blade is thinner than most standard key blanks and they will not fit in the Curtain correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 thanks all for your assistance. The gauge is 5.5 and the blank I cut is 5.5 as well, customer said key goes in fine just not turn, I run-over the key and cut another one, none turn the lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Get your calipers on the flag, it looks a bit wider than the original. keithm and I love Keys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkD Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 By my very unscientific screen measuring, this bit seems wider and might be catching on the lock case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 I would ask the customer what happens when he tries to turn the key, if it gets stiffer as he turns it then our belief that the bit is too wide stands up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 The collar could be the issue it could be stopping the key fully entering the lock. You said in the first post it is for a chubb if that is the case then use a chubb blank. lock&quay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 We quite often get the "it does not turn at all" to find it turns till it hits the lever pack then stops correct information is essential in identifying problems and solutions. kobblers and keithm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted August 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just want to says thanks to every one assisting me with this key. I managed to find the problem and now all 3 keys work perfect. The problem was the side cuts of my blanks was not as deep and wide as the original key. They were too small to notice with eye sight , but when put it in my lancer machine it did take a bit more off and all worked OK afterwords. once more thanks for your time guys. kobblers and MarkD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
