What kind of key is this??

HI,
I have a key that I don't know the name/number of it... like Y11 or something. I know the key is for a commercial lock. Thanks!

Here is a link to the key: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/141 ... G_3923.jpg

Thanks!

Why do you need to know? That key is specifically for obscuring identification.

Yeah, we probably can't help you ID that. It's called a Neuter Bow key, used by apartments and property management companies so that someone can't easily ID it and go make a copy of a key or buy a blank and make themselves a copy. It's a rudimentary form of key control.

good luck,

Okay thanks. I wanted to know because I own a business and wanted to know what kind of key I have/lock so I can go up to the hardware store and get one copied . I went up their and the gave me a SC20 key. It fits but does not want to turn.

Thanks for the help!

Sounds like the hardware store gave you the right key, too bad their key machine is out of adjustment...

If you make a copy of a worn key you get a copy of a warn key
Most hardware stores just duplicate what they are given with little attention to the accuracy of the machine
