Key Blanks 1141 Vancouver

The brand name on the face of your lock is the first clue to whether a 1141 is the right blank. Look at the cylinder around the keyhole, or at the bow of the key that came with the lock; most manufacturers stamp their name or logo on at least one of them. That narrows the field from thousands of profiles to a handful. From there we compare your key with the blank directly. The milled grooves have to match along the full length of the blade, and the shoulder that stops the key in the lock has to sit in the same place. Only then do we cut. Duplicating means tracing your existing key and cleaning up the result. If the key is the original that came with the lock, it is the ideal pattern. If it is a copy of unknown quality, we may suggest decoding it and cutting the intended depths on our code machine. Bring the key and, if you can, a photo of the lock face to 4105 Macdonald St. We will confirm the match before the blank goes anywhere near the cutter.
