Key cutting: mortice blanks
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 12:45 am
Hi everyone, looking for a little advice. Currently i provide a key cutting service from my van. I only stock the key blanks for the locks i supply and fit as i do not want to carry hundreds of different blanks which i will probably never use.
The problem is i now have a contract with a big letting agent who now and again ask me to come and cut keys for them at the office. As for cylinders, i usually get away with using my universal 5 and 6 pin blanks, however i only stock union mortice blanks (locks i supply and fit). My question is, is there a few universal mortice blanks on the market which will cover the majority of mortice locks? Or will i have to bite the bullet and buy in all the popular mortices blanks?
Thanks
Danny
