MarkD Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Looks like the one for the 3* Fortress cylinder, got mine from ERA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Pretty sure it is the fortress key. We get some with red rubber caps but they look like this underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDH Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Definitely looks like the ERA Fortress, normally have a large red top on them from what I’ve seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I cut the notch out the tip on the band scourer on these. Work perfect everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 Using just the standard ERA blank to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 The lock is the federal YCF cylinder with a standard plug made for ERA by Federal. Good to see there is now a cutting card in the Silca software so these can be cut to code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need to cut the notch in the key. Before the correct blanks I used to you the ATK blanks without issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYKeys Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 2 hours ago, grahamparker said: otherwise the key will not fully enter the lock correctly. Just an aside conversationally: I noticed that for the shorter Ultion cylinders (or possibly just the very shortest) the lock doesn't use all the available dimples on the key.

The 30 side is indeed shorter and can only use 5 main pins and i believe 3 pins the other side. Anything bigger than 30 uses all the pins.
