exp121260 Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Had this key in today, very similar to ERA 7 Guage but it's 6 Guage and the bit is longer than ERA. Cutt it on universal mortice blank but just wonder if there are specific blanks for this key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 We've had a few of these cheap copies of the ERA Pro-Fit and not found a suitable blank that does them perfect, every time. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Have you tried using the Guardian/Imperial blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exp121260 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 Last time had one in , the universal 6G done the job, but I thought there must be a specific blank for it. I will check Guardian/Imperial blanks next time. Thanks for your assistance Rick and Graham.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 Though the whole point of this thread was it looks like an era 4g, but it's not. This blank always throws me, you automatically reach for era 4g. I cut it on a universal. As for a blank, would the manufacturers want to legally do a "fake" key.

grahamparker Posted April 22, 2019 Report Share Posted April 22, 2019 It's not a fake they have just copied the head that's all there is no reason why they cannot do this. Just to point out the key is a 6 Gauge and none of the ERA blanks will work. Mike at Vauxhall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan 695 is 7.5 Gauge , this key is 6 Gauge and it seems Morgan is long enough but not wide enough for this key. grahamparker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamparker Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The very first post says it is a 6 Gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyman Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 If this is the same key I have come across a few times recently, Era viscount looking, approximately 7 gauge etc., when you measure the shaft you will find it is actually oval. The shaft is 7½ gauge across and 7, sometimes even 6½, gauge top to bottom. The bit of the key is usually taller than an Era too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYKeys Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Should we be concerned that the Davenports key is a 7g and throughout this thread there has been a lot of insistence the key in question is a 6g? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
