Mike M Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Please can anyone work out the key code from the image? The Code card says it is the following, but I have had keys cut using the codes and the snake part is significanly incorrect. A=2132, B=231, C=3323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Code is correct. Depending on the machine you are using the snake cuts often do not look the same, my triax returns to the 1 position after every cut rather than following the track to the next cut. Are you reversing the cuts ? code is from the tip of the key backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted November 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 None of the keys I received by the key cutter firm worked. So I thought the snake cutting might be wrong. However if it does not matter if the cutting machine “returns to the one position after every cut” and the key should still work, then there must be another explanation. The dimples on the key that was cut are a lot wider, does that matter? Could it be a simple matter of the company used the wrong size drill? Below is a photo of both the original & the cut key. The original is the shorter one. Any views please, on either the dimples, or the snakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meekie Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Dimples too deep. Machine set wrong or wrong cutter. Mike M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 Agreed with Meekie, dimple cuts to deep but snake cut is perfect that is how the Traix cuts them. Machine needs recalibaration looking at the copy. Mike M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Thanks to both of you. Most helpful. I have had new keys cut by a different supplier and they are fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lock&quay Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 When reading the cuts from the barcode card is "C" the laser cuts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
