Key Blanks 1025 Vancouver

An uncut 1025 blank is a starting point, not a key. It has the right shape to enter a particular family of locks, but until the cuts are put along its edge it will not lift the pins to the shear line and turn anything. Most people who buy one want it cut, and that is the part we handle. To cut a working key we need a pattern. That can be your existing key, which we trace on a duplicator, or a bitting code, which we enter on a code machine. Code cutting is useful when the original is worn, when you want several identical keys, or when you are working from records rather than a key in hand. If you are a hobbyist or a business that cuts its own keys, you still want to be sure the profile matches before buying in quantity. Compare the groove pattern from the end of the blade and check the length against a known good key. Bring the key or the code to 4105 Macdonald St and we will confirm the 1025 is the correct blank, cut it, and check that the finished key slides in cleanly.
