Best key Blanks

Postby criminalhate » 29 Sep 2007 14:42

Hopefully this is the right area.
I was wondering if anyone has a link to all the different Best Locks key way names?

Also Does anyone know where to get key blanks for them?

You should be able to get blanks from any locksmith supply house, if not try Hawley Lock Supply http://www.hawleylock.com/

or Mains Lock Supply ( home of the the $5.00 IC core) http://www.iccores.com/

Randy doesn't do well at e-mail ,so it is best to call him.

eBay is where it's at. You're not going to find KABA Peaks or BEST premium so easily though.

I wasn't aware there exists a BEST key that fits both the A-G and the J-M. What is the designation on that key blank?
