Keyblanks

[Raymond]

Hello,
Can someone provide me with a website where I can look for European or Aisian key blanks to fit no name locks imported to the USA? Most are double sided and small wafer locks.
Thanks

As far as I know, your best bet is to dig through the ilco key blank catalog and start comparing. If you have more info on a particular blank I'd be more than happy to attempt to cross reference it. If you do not have any numbers at all then you're on your own lol .

Dont know if this is any help or not Raymond,
but I know www.Foley_Belsaw.com 1-800-821-3452 use to have a fairly large assortment of what your looking for, give them a try and see?

Hey thanks for the suggestions. I have just about ripped apart the Ilco catalog and can't find what I am looking for. I have used a lot of foreign auto keys that I had to shorten and modify to make work.

I cant tell you exactly what I am looking for as I do not have one of the problems right now.

I am looking for keys like... the reverse of several of the Trimarks, or cheap import safe bypass keys, or import trailer hitch lock keys, or double sided key box keys, etc. Just all the low cost stuff customers bring in.

I was hoping someone in Europe, Asia, or down under had a different key blank supplier than Ilco.

On the subject of the Ilco catalogue, are previous catalogue model numbers from say 2004 still current? And do you order them direct from Ilco, or can you buy them from locksmiths?

Are you after a selection of stock to cover the small weird and wonderful wafer lock keys that are brought in or are you after a particular key blank?

A list of blank manufacturers is surely not what your after but thats what is sounds like,m

If your after a specific blank show us the keyway otherwise i can reccomend Lowe and Fletcher blanks as they are very common and worth stocking but perhaps only for the uk, i dont know,

If you tell u exactly the issue we can advise more but at the moment your still being a bit distant for some reason,

I have never ordered directly from Ilco. I always order the Ilco products from another wholesaler. In the past I have ordered DiMark, Taylor, Curtis, Keil, Hurd, Briggs & Stratton, as well as lock name brand originals. The older catalogs are just as valid only they do not show new blanks and often the older, out of date blanks are deleted from newer catalogs. I still have some catalogs from before 1970.

I do not mean to sound distant. I will check out Lowe & Fletcher. If they are key blank suppliers this is exactly what I am looking for. - A source for different blanks not available here. I really do not have any specific blank to look for now.

After all that, just today I had a request for a Union blank, (Ilco & DL 33NO), (Silca UN13?). Customer wants 8 keys this week. Even my supplier stated that this blank is not currently available from Ilco.
