I just started with impressioning and I'm looking to buy some keyblanks now. Since I have many different locks I was wondering whether to buy some universal keyblanks like the ULO50X from Silca.
But since the marks sometimes sit rather close to the edge of the blank, I was wondering whether I could even use such a blank which has probably been thinned down in some places to fit into a wide variety of keyways. On the other hand the pins need to have enough place on the blank to make a decent key from it, therefore it should work for impressioning, too.
Well I'm just not sure whether I should buy them so I'd like to know whether some of you are using them and how you like them.
