Medeco keys
Before giving my key making equipment to my nephew, I wanted to get a 1012 cutter because I have the Medeco cards and 2 locks that I needed keys for. After getting 2 of 3 Raise cutters that were out of specs I was a little leary about getting a Raise 1012 but I couldnt afford an HPC version. When I ordered the Raise, I asked for them to make sure that it was 2.375.. Now I dont know if they listened or I just got lucky but I got it today and it was a perfect 2.375 (I still have the 14MC and 90MC that are 2.382 and 2.390)
Well I finally got to cut some keys for the locks I have... Harder then I figured it would be, had to make sure it was all adjusted correctly first..
Then I made all of the cuts and tried it in the lock.... works but has a little bit of a hitch so I start measuring the cuts, all are within .005 of what they should be.
Finally took out the core and had a look at the pins with the key in it, I forgot that they were used locks and the pins are a bit worn so they were not perfect at the shear line.
oh well, good enough for my reloading room door
