Has anyone come across an ERA 6pin key. Looks like a ER2 but ER2 does not enter the lock. The key has faint milled profile along side of the key along the cuts

We have had a few issues with some of these using ER2 swapped to UL054 and never had a problem since.

It looks like a normal 6 pin ERA key to me, but it looks like some cowboy took the shoulder stop off it. In circumstances like this I just decode them and cut them by computer. I've known some struggle to fit in but they loosen up over time, I refuse to use universal blanks, it's an ugly approach. I don't personally know any ERA locks that are not a standard open section profile, I've never known any to require any additional milling in their own keys at least.

Customer said they would not go in to lock. Of course the customer is always right.

might be a red herring?

Why a cowboy?  Looks more like abusive wear and tear to me.

Had the same issue a few weeks ago, used jma era blank customer came back, so used an original era key same again,  used ul054 and all's ok so seems to be some narrow key ways out there so now we check with calipers
