What Best IC Core keyway is this?

Postby WOT » 24 Dec 2007 17:20

The key looks like a standard Best key. Does not have the slightly different shape of the PKS and it is not Kaba PEAKS. There's marking LSX though.

Image

I checked against all known standard Best keyways and there's no match. It looks like an F or H, but with a very big lobe in the lower finger side.

Anyone??

I'm looking in the ilco catalog and the closest match I can see is a blank with the numbers A1114E.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

It's definitely not an E. The lobe on the finger side is freaking HUGE.

Errr.... That would be from the KSP (Killeen Security Products) stuff....
It is their restricted "LSX" core/keyway. Made for and sold by one particular network of distributors.


O.K. Now what did I win??

Merry Christmas!!

Best answer so far. I checked out their site and their site has a picture that looks very similar... Afterall, it must not be BEST LOCK brand.

The next closest would be the restricted Arrow 1D key. The bottom lobe on the core isn't as square and slightly rounded at the top..............

If you can't get a key, I can PM you who use to be the distributer for that LSX line............
