exp121260 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Does SKS supply key blanks for these locks? had a customer today inquiring about spare keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exp121260 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Customer said he has been advised to register @ Apecs website and get keys direct from them. He also said Timpsons told him they can get them but cost £32 each second one half price and take a week or so to get them. If they can get them why we can't?

grahamparker Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 I believe they just make stuff up as and when they feel like it, they quoted the same price for one of my unique Abus pfaffenhain profiles which they do not have a chance of obtaining. So when they say they can does not mean that they actually will unless they are buying direct from Apecs and selling on.

Count Muppet Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Timpson can get them and I saw a few blanks in one of our shops a couple of weeks back so they must be available somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 This EU website seems to sell Blanks but I am not sure if these are the blanks we are talking about as the photo is not very clear. https://www.keyblanks.eu/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathandealey Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 We (SKS) can cut them to code if we are provided with a picture of the card but we are not allowed to sell the blanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will unfortunately stop most locksmiths and key cutters buying the locks from you. kobblers, gavin, lock&quay and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathandealey Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Originally we were supplying blanks to people who bought the locks from us but Apecs asked us not to supply blanks anymore. lock&quay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nathan. We (Castle Locks in Benfleet} only sellLocks that we can supply keys for. I think Chris B must be aware of this. If he's not, can you please let him know. lock&quay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just seen the blanks on a silca flyer. They’re listed as “apeks” though. also noticed 2 keys that appear to be copies of the patented Yale superior key. Does this mean they are legal to use for this?

grahamparker Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Problem is Silca are great at listing these in a catalogue but trying to buy them can take 6 months plus and a large minimum order unless the wholesalers decide to stock them.
