Key Blanks 1000H Vancouver

Blank numbers like 1000H come from the cataloguing systems key makers use to sort thousands of profiles, and the number on its own does not tell most people much. What tells us whether a 1000H is right for you is your key: its width, length, shoulder position and the grooves milled along the blade. If you are shopping for this blank because a previous copy was cut on one, look at the bow of that key. Copies are often stamped with the blank number, which saves a step. If your key has no markings, bring it in and we will compare it against the blank before cutting. A copy is cut by tracing your key on a duplicator. Afterwards we clean up the burrs, check the cuts line up with the original, and make sure the tip and shoulder match so the key seats properly in the lock. If the original key is worn or bent, let us know; a damaged pattern makes a poor copy, and decoding to the intended depths is often a better route. Questions about whether a 1000H fits your lock? Phone 604-734-7233 with the brand name on the lock face and any numbers on your key.
