Abus X-Plus, a variant of Abus Plus

[Growster]

These are becoming a lot more frequent.

The blank seems to exist, the codes are in Instacode, but how can they be made to code? Note the the pointy top, and the length, the main differences to an Abus Plus.

I can copy them Chris.

I have never had to copy one yet. Rather, I never offered to do that, cuz I can't.

Most requests are for "to code", unfortunately, and I have to outsource that all.

You need the rotating jaw to cut on the Unocode or use the Silca IDEA. Failing that Abus uk can supply if you can wait long enough.

I think the angles are different from X-Plus to Abus Plus. That might rule out the jaw. Nevermind that the Abus Plus keys made on that jaw have a reputational whiff of not working.

Abus supply alright, and even reasonably quickly, I find. But this makes the keys so expensive, that the tightwad customers only ever order 1 per key number.

Standard granit are either 5,6, or mainly seven cuts with cut depths 1-6 dependent on the lock they fit.

X-plus are 6,7 or 8 cut with cut depths of 1-6.

They are available from Abus uk for a ridiculous price if you include carriage.

I am looking into ways of duplicating these to code.

The Jaw required is the V1 rotating jaw.
