Lock ID: Unknown SFIC Keyway

Postby Omikron » 2 Apr 2006 21:19

I've got 12 of these cores that are uncombinated. I do not know the keyway and have tried keys for keyways A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, and FM.

If anyone has any idea what this keyway might be, it would be much appreciated.

I'm sure the Keys you tried were Ilco # A1114 folloowed by the letter designations given. This looks like a Ilco 1179-1D keyway to me, hope this works for you.

Jeesh, Maxxed,

You seem to be pretty good at identifying keyways. 8)

I can only hope to be as good as you one day, lol.

Good luck with that lock Omikron!!!

Thanks I've had many years practice, I began in a very large shop that had an enormous key inventory

Yes, but what is the keyway supposed to be? InstaCode doesn't have a record of the blank you mentioned.

I used the Ilco keyblank directory to get the keyblank ID. I checked a few of the other references I have and they do not list that blank either. I am not familiar with the Insta code so I cann't help much there. I'll try to scan in the image of the keyblank and post it.

maxxed has it
Arrow produces keyways that aren't clones of the Best keyways, that is the Arrow "D" keyway, not the Best.
