Tra to use more soft metal it is much easy,i tried to first i take alot of time because it wount work,but i made a bump key by hand,then i found the way if it is made from very soft material its more easy fits into the lock,evend is the key made home not on the machine,the pins fixed the key and key will open the lock.

soft keys

Postby dr_dentz » 29 Oct 2006 20:35

sometimes it seems indeed that a soft metal key can be shaped somewhat by the pins as they are of a harder metal and will "impress" themselves into the soft key, so if the homemade key isnt quite perfect in the spacing then this can compensate! Make sence?!
