How to tell what type of BEST key I have.

[DemonicGman]

I'm wondering how one can differentiate between the various types of BEST keys. Considering there are about 6 or something from BE2 to Q. Are there any markers on the key? For instance on the two keys I have, one has an E on it and the other has an E and an A on it. Or can i tell by the lock? Unfortunately all that says is BEST on it, so I'm at a pickle. Thanks.

Well that's one way of telling what key way you have
you will see a letter stamp on bottom of key so whatever letter you see there
that's the keyway you have, the best lock i have all of them
have that letter stamp on botton of the key
or you can check your keyway and compare them by looking at this chart
hope this helps.
