World's worst biting?

Postby Jacob Morgan » 21 Jan 2018 17:53

New, out of the package, LSDA camlock (a relabeled Fort?) Sure, it is only a disc tumbler, but the biting seems to go against most suggestions I have seen.

If I did locksmithing for a living, I would hate to show up a job site with this--especially if ten or twenty of them were keyed-alike, and only realized then what was going on.

I've seen a Fort in use bitted 3333. I know these aren't high security, but no need to make it obscenely easy :)

A Note about the Fort Keys, Their is a Key used on Security Panels that used a Fort 204, Since it had been out for years, they came up with a New? Key, a BH015. It has the same biting? Easier to change the numbers than to cut new keys?

That's 4 non-cuts, and one 3 cut for your fellas that are new to this.

X isn't a non-cut.

A client brought in a double sided National cam lock to be impressioned,
when I inserted the blank, the lock easily turned--mostly for 'protective coloration'
I filed a small area on each side of the blank, just to make it look more like an actual cut key
The whole thing was so easy I only charged half price...

that is pretty common as far as disc tumbler locks go.
