keys

Postby raimundo » 2 Aug 2006 9:22

I have a number of long keys, I would like to identify, they have square bows with the SG of sergeant and greenleaf, then a round shaft of about six inches with a lever tumbler lock bitting on the end, just before the bitting for the levers, the round shaft tapers down to a smaller diameter. the bitting appears to address 6 or 7 levers, but the whole blade of the key that they are cut from is small, the height of the bitting does not come to a quarter inch, but its length along the key shaft is about an inch.
I don't have the capability to put a photo up as these cafe machines restrict the down and up loading. perhaps someone has some information, I have looked at the SG site, and my guess is that these are no longer sold.

I know you said that you looked at the S&G website... but, just to confirm: it's not a key for a model 6870:

...or a model 6804?

Boy, those a are long keys. Make decent back-scratchers I guess. Why are they that long? Is the lock sunk in that deep as well?

They can be,

Imagine the thickness a safe door can be, you need a key that will reach through that thickness and into the lock.

Good idea that they made a detachable one. So you can keep the important part with you, and leave the long part at the safe...
