I know it’s been a long time but could use some help. I need to make copies of some Schlage C1 keys and noticed side cuts on the keys are these specifically cut or universal? My basic key machine doesn’t do side cuts so I need to find an inexpensive machine that can do these cuts if needed. I am a certified locksmith BUT I haven’t done locksmithing in years basically took the course to be legally allowed to use picks and buy supplies. This is my companies site can give more details one on one if someone here doesn’t feel comfortable with the fact these are security restricted keys. Most the old timers can vouch for me I just need to know if the side cuts are specific to the lock and if so what machine to get.

It’s a C145 blank

The side cuts are universal on those blanks . They operate an L shaped check pin in the Everest cylinders.

Thanks, I thought as much. My job just had two Best locking doors replaced with new doors and locks, our contractor doesn't do lock stuff and bought them with the Schlage locks, and it's a PITA to get keys in Hawaii for some things in our location, locksmiths won't cut keys for these because of residential laws, but they will for a company, but they have to come to the site and we are int he middle of nowhere with restricted road hours.
