Dude, that Schlage key just looks wrong, and there is a very good possibility it will snap off in the lock.

I think you did a few things wrong with that one.

It's close. Spacing is off, angle of the cuts are off. I am assuming that you hand filed down a precut key?

What's up with the big squared off spot at the first cut?

I've seen worse that would work, so you should be in good shape.

uhh yeah...... i did NOT take this picture, and i dont know who did, but it has been helpful. maybe it can help you too. Y1, SC4, dunno, M1, SC1, KW1, dunno, dunno, dunno. top right, going clockwise.

looks like you want the SC1 and the KW1. if you cant tell which is which, then you should study up before making any more bumpkeys.

also, look for zeke's bumpkey pdf guide. thats really helpful.

and i hope you arent using this knowledge for misuse. then bad things happen. :wink:

Just so everyone doesn't have to copy paste that url to see the original picture he posted about.

The keys might be wrong but the Raiders keys make up for it. It would be good if Zeke or some other skilled bumper could make a bump key template so everyone could make them and know if they were the right shape.

A bumpkey is easy to make from an old key. Here is a quick rundown.

Old cut key

Measure deepest cut to determine what depth it is. If it is not at deepest cut per manufacturers spec for that lock note what depth it is.

Mark key at deepest depth and trace the centerline of the cuts down to the deepst cut mark.

Carefully file following your marks. When done, take a bit off the tip and shoulder and you now have a nice home made bumpkey.
