We have added DORMA Large Pin, also referred to as DORMA SKC, to our Key Bitting Specification Tool. DORMA SKC’s key system is a low-cost, restricted key option that allows you to use SFIC and non-IC cylinders in the same key system.
We have added Medeco Original (Half Step) to our Key Bitting Specification Tool. Utilizing 11 depths, this was Medeco’s first venture into a two step progression key system. While no where near as ubiquitous as the full step version, there are still many existing systems utilizing it.
We have added 2 new wafer/disc tumbler key bitting specifications to our Key Bitting Specifications Tool. They are as follows:
We have added Huber and Norwalk Large Pin to our Key Bitting Specifications in the Tools section.
We’ve added 3 tubular key bitting specifications to our Key Bitting Specifications Tool. They are:
We have launched the tubular lock section of the Key Bitting Specifications page with the following key bitting specifications:
In the coming weeks and months, we will add more tubular key bitting specifications. These additions will include:
We’ve added a Falcon .025″ key bitting specification to our Key Bitting Specifications Tool. It is available under the ‘Pin Tumbler’ tab. This is a relatively uncommon key bitting specification. It does not apply to the keyways that Falcon has listed in their keying system manuals: E, F, G, H, J, K, L, N, P, or R. Instead, it applies to CP, M, and Q, for example.
We still have many key bitting specifications in the work; they are, without a doubt, the most popular item on our website. Soon, we plan to debut tubular key bitting specifications. Stay tuned!
We’ve added a key bitting specification for Schlage’s 29 SL platforms to our Key Bitting Specifications Tool under the “High Security” tab. This key bitting specification covers:
We’ve added a key bitting specification for Mul-T-Lock’s Classic and Interactive platform to our Key Bitting Specifications Tool under the “High Security” tab.
Mul-T-Lock’s Classic platform introduced a revolutionary telescoping dimple design to the industry in the 1970s. This design utilizes a dimple key which uses inner and outer key cuts to interact with corresponding inner and outer bottom pins. When the Classic’s patent expired in 1994 it’s successor, the Interactive, was introduced. The Interactive improved on the Classic’s design with the debut of the “interactive element”. This interactive element, per LockWiki.com, is “a moving element in the key [used] to raise a pin stack higher than physically possible by a traditional key.”
The success of the Classic and Interactive platforms was immediate and widespread. Classic and Interactive keys and locks can be found all over the world and both platforms, while no longer carrying active utility patents, are still in production today. They are especially popular in Israel, Canada, and the United States.
There are 8 new key bitting specifications (KBS) available on the Key Bitting Specifications page under the “Wafer/Disc Tumbler” tab in the Tools section:
