So, I did not see a post on this, maybe I just missed it but regardless I found it interesting, and incase anyone else wants to homebrew a primus sidebar code they don't have to dig for ever.

I found a defcon slide that sums up the sidebar heights and offsets from center. If you want to see the rest of the slides there is a reference in the picture.
I then made a graph in excel that then plots distance from the shoulder (taking into account the offsets) and hight from bottom of key.

Ironically, the bottom part of the C1 key fits into the standard primus keyway. I know this because I just made a sidebar setter out of one and it works great! I dont have pics ATM I'll probably post pictures when I'm done with class.

Thank you.

the Schlage primus service manual also has this info.

Wow sweet work. Ill have to take a closer look at all of this.

Moss shhhh

Oh. Well I thought I looked there and it talked about there being 6 different pin positions but I couldn't find depths and offsets.

nice post, the Schlage service manual does have that info. , but YOU showed it better - very cool

Interesting to note that the latest version of this lock has a seventh position on the #5 sidebar bitting. Think they call it "Very Shallow Right", and sits directly above the "5" position.

Gordon, that would be the Primus XP feature.

That's the one, Jeff.
