Medeco keyway Identification

Postby AMiller » 14 Dec 2018 6:34

Needed a little help identifying this kik I got recently, I milled down a Schlage E key to fit and was able to get it operating, But I'd rather have a legitimate key for it.

I don't know about that, to me it looks more like a very close mirror of the 1542 blank.

And to the OP, I wish you all the best in finding a suitable blank. For both professional and hobby use in the past, I've taken the closest Medeco blank I can find and milled it to fit. At least that way, I have the right bow shape on the key. :D

RedE,

Ya, That's probably the route I'll end up having going to go.

Thank you.
