Yet another cutaway, ASSA Twin 6000 KIK

This was a purely experimental cutaway, but it may be sold on ebay. This may or may not be the final product. Please leave feedback on how it looks.:wink:
EDIT: Here is the auction for this lock.Here are photos of the new and improved cutaway! These are not the most recent photos, however. I did a bit of sanding at the last chamber and between the 4th and 5th chambers, so there are no longer scratch marks there.

Looks like you done a good job showing the important details :wink: . I would complete the cut on the 4th chamber to resemble the rest just to have consistency in that aspect.

You are gonna have to start keeping some of these cutaways for yourself Noah!! J/K :P . Another nice cutaway, good job!!

Thanks Nick. I was thinking the same thing about the 4th chamber. I will finish that chamber.

Just out of curiosity, what is the sidebar code on that lock? If you have several that use the same sidebar, I'll dig through my many many assa keys and see if I have some of the same sidebar and if I do send you some to make bumpkeys out of. That way you can play with bumping the twin which is sometimes easier than you would expect and sometimes very tough. It depends on the lock.

Nick, I have seven more locks that use the same sidebar, so bumpkeys would be great. I'll get a good photo of the best key I have, as I cannot tell the combination.

The photos of the new and improved cutaway have now replaced the old ones. :wink:

Noah,

The sidebar code should be in the bottom left corner of the bow of the key. An example is a 51-511. All I need are those numbers to check my key stash.

odd. I think all of mine have the sidebar stamped on the bow of the key?? A picture will give me some idea then.

Perhaps measuring the sidebar cuts with a caliper would help?

I feel the same about my work.
