Bump Key 2 for 1

[assweasel]

Certain locks like Schlage, Weiser etc have 5 and 6 pin versions of the same lock. They use identical keyways.

If you treat the peak at the very tip of the key like it is the first cut you can use the 5 pin version of the key to bump a 6 pin cylinder.

Conversely you can also use the 6 pin version on 5 pin locks by pulling it out of the lock 1 full cut.

I personally like the 5 pin version because often you have no idea if your working with a 5 or 6 pin cylinder. The 5 pin inserted fully will just bump the 6 pin as though it were a 5 pin. No fiddiling around. And i don't stand there trying to figure out which version of the key I should be using. Also cuts down on the number of Bump keys you need to have.

so far ii have found that if the key fits the lock it will open it i mean i have used a yale key on gege lock for double glasing ect normally like i say if it fits in the lock and you feel that spring back when u push it in it should work

Hmm.. Well a Yale A1 blank will fit into a Mila lock, but if you look at the pin spacing you will see that there is no chance in heck that you will be able to bump it using a Yale pin spacing.

Hmm... The only GeGe lock I have won't even accept a Yale key, let alone be bumped by it. I have found that the X5 can be bumped by using a standard Yale 6 pin key though, you just gotta file it carefully.

oh trust this is a yale key (from own front door) and the gege lock was off a double glazed front door and yes it works 100%
