I saw a few references to this key being useful... I presume they're a general purpose wafer key, and operate like a tryout key. Whats the proper keyblank (Y11?), and what are the depths?

My google search shows IN8 blanks are a possibility.

They're mostly used on general purpose cam/utility locks. You find them on everything from electrical panels to equipment cabinets to RV/camper locks. I've got a cup full of them in my office, though I'll be out of the office for about a week and a half as of today. If you can wait and PM me your address, I'll send you one when I get back. Unless someone else here beats me to it, they're pretty common and I suspect a lot of people here have a bunch laying around.

Pete:
I carry a copy of the CH751 with me everywhere I go. It is useful to "assist" you in opening wafer locks for which you might not have the key for with a little bit of wiggling and jiggling you can get in a lot of wafer cam locks using this key. Think of it as a key that can be used as a lockpick.

There are a lot of blanks that can often be used as a substitute for the Y11. IN8, L1054B, ES8, etc..

Is a good Key to have on a ring for quick Service of Some Electric Gates, Keypads, another is the Fort Lock #203. Same Profile, Deep Cut at the Hilt, then shallow, then deep, then shallow, Like a worm rake, Don't know if they have a Name, I call them Rake Keys. In and out, Up and Down will open many. Google CH 751, then Click Images. Bet you could make one from a blank with the photo.
