You can use a regular key as a template. Just make all your cuts very low, but with the same spacing. Where the peaks are on the real key, they should be on the blank key, except lower.

*sigh* You really should be searching for this stuff. but you can cut a regular key down. you need to research and find the root depth of a 9 cut on the key you are making for a specific lock.

Here is a picture of a master M1 bump key. Print it at various scales until it matches the size of your blank key.

For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
