Bumping Shlage Lock.

Postby underhand » 7 Dec 2006 19:25

Simple question ... Is it possible to Bump a regular Shlage lock ( Meaning the common shlage that people that on there doors). If so, How much harder is it than a Kwickset? Also, is there any tips I should know before I make the bump key? Any tips on depth or spacing? THANK YOU!!!!

Yes, same difficulty, don't bump locks you rely on or that are not yours, cut to the 9th depth and spacing for a schlage lock, YOU'RE WELCOME

Tips on depth and spacing is to read through the site but quickly if you use a key that is already cut you have the spacing already set for you,

Another good idea is to get the key cut to whatever code you want, then you dont have to do so much filing. Half of the work is done for you.
