Your Bump Key Attempts

Manually made with a P-X23MC cutter and the first cut from shoulder is is skewed towards the tip by 0.1 to 0.15" from the factory spec 0.231, which has the same effect as filing down the shoulder

Hey Josh, I made a tension wrench like the one in your pics last night. It works great! I am kinda pissed at myself for not thinkin of something like that.

yeah it really saves your fingers... and it fits every type of keyblank... its awesome
haha and it took me a whole 7 seconds to think it up.

1st attempt and it works(2 spool drivers)

very nice attempt, what lock you using with it?

[adamd]

Its for a Yale Cylinder (2 spool drivers). Gonna try and make one for my Abus 85/70 if i can find out pin spacing dimensions

sounds great, josh has a link here somewhere on where to find spacings. i'm sure you'll get it worked out.

[Josh]

well the site i guess was taken down, or at least one of them was... but here is a pdf printout made by ezpicker over at ezp... he was smart enough to print it before the site closed...

--edit---
i guess it didnt attach, so here is the link

yeah it dosent accept PDF, if any of you want to upload a raw PDF then put it in a zip folder.

Edit: .PDF is now enabled, you no longer have to put it in a zip folder, you may upload the raw file.

oh well. its not that important... the link works...

[adamd]

Thanks for that Josh

[adamd]

I checked out that pdf but it doesn't have Abus on the list, I noticed that the average center to center dimensions are 0.156" is this dimension a safe bet to go for or are the center to center dimensions more critical from lock to lock for bump keys?

Edit: I've had a think about it and that question sounds stupid What I think I'm trying to say is: Is there any +/- tolerance when making bump keys. I hope thats a bit clearer

here are a few abus sheets
