cobblers.keys Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Does anyone know what blank to use to cut the bulldog tubular key? Bulldog direct only sell cut keys. Need to order today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 They need to come from Bulldog as the blanks are not a normal size and we have never found a good alternative that works. cobblers.keys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growster Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Meroni ones are fatter. Could you caliper this, then I can compare? grahamparker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growster Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Meronis is 9.55 outside, 7.8 inside. It seems we use CH9T blanks without an issue. There is a 10 pin card on Instacode, would be happy to give a visual decode a go. From what I have seen, some copying machines may have trouble with the bulky bow. Our unliked Zephyr has trouble with 10 pin keys, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 We have used both CH9T and CH16T and although they work it will not be long before the pins pop past the outer wall and jam the key in while unlocked. Thats why we stopped doing them after having to replace a lock we managed to jam a key in. Not worth the hassle to be honest. cobblers.keys and hibsjo(SCO) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growster Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Our Zephyr indeed never produced a working key for Bulldog locks, an even worse track record than yours. At the time of giving up with it, I thought that perhaps the cutter diameter of the Zephyr is suited for 7-pin locks. Even the Fiamma 9-pin ones don't copy correctly. The Triax, however, has a 10-pin card, which stipulates a different cutter. The full truth is still unclear, perhaps these few customers just weren't of the moanful type.

grahamparker Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 We do not see many 9 or 10 pin which is why i have never purchased the cutter for my Triax. I do have the 7 pin one and it cuts L and F keys perfectly every time. Other makes can be a bit hit and miss but usually work. Our Zephyr is vary rarely in use now.
