As there are dif fer en t types of keyw ays, there a re also dif fe re nt types of keys. These can be re cog nize d b y lo okin g a t the tip to see which por tion abo ve or be low the “ V ” gro ove has been cut aw ay when t he key is orien ted with the “ V ” groo ve poin ting aw ay from you. If the port ion abo ve the “ V ” groo ve has been cut aw ay , this is a typ e 1 key. If the por tion bel ow the “ V ” groo ve has been cut aw ay i t is a typ e 2 key. If the tip is uncut it is a typ e “ 0 ” key, usuall y used as a master or g ran d master key.

In illu stra tion < A = a t righ t, you notice the long er sl ot is be low the " V = gr oov ed d iv id ing stri p, ind ica ting a typ e # 2 key way . The 14 slots t o the righ t o f the master wa fe r column are assigned code numbers corr esp ond ing to the place men t o f the com bina tion wa fer s (N8 ). The fi rst slot to the righ t of the master w af er column and lo cate d ab ove the d ivid ing s trip is given the des igna tion code # 1 .
Al l fa cto ry cut keys have a com bina tion numbe r stam ped on t he bow wh ich indica tes the notchi ng on the key.

The slot dir ec tly bel ow this is given the desi gna tion code # 2 . The c ode numbers alte rna te betwe en od d and even, contin uing to the righ t of the key way . All odd numbers are on to p— 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and the last two numbers are 1' and 3' (read as 1 prime and 3 prime) . Al l the even num bers are loc ate d bel ow the d i vid ing str ip— 2, 4, 6, 8, 0—2 ' 4' .
In illust rati on < B= at the rig ht, t he key c arr ied the num ber 20 38 23 . The firs t di gi t indica tes a typ e # 2 key with its tip cut aw ay , as exp lain ed on pag e 6. The second di git , in this case 0 , indica tes a stock key not rela ted to a ny ma sterk eyed system. The las tfo ur di gi ts ind ica te the loca tion of the notches cut in the key. These same fo ur digit s (38 23 in the illus trat ion) also ind ica te the positio n of the com bina tion w afe rs in the key way since these wa fer s must rest with in the cut aw ay por tions o f the key. If a key is not stam ped with a fa cto ry com binat ion numb er, take a n emp ty wa fe r key way a nd insert the que stio nab le key to dete rmin e its com bina tion n umber.

Looking firs t a t the master w af er column, the slot be low the di vid ing st rip is uno bstru cted ind ica ting the tip o f the key has been cut a wa y a t the bot tom .

This prin cip le of mas terke ying can be exp an ded to includ e many more comb inatio ns.

St ep 2 In this meth od, onl y one series w af er is used, so in or de r to dete rmin e which column should be re served fo r its pl acem ent to best ut iliz e the maxim um numb er o f listed keys or key way units, repre sent the key way u nit by dra win g a rect ang le and ind ica te the 14 slots by w riti ng in the ir ap pr op ria te cod e numbers (see illust ra tion B).

In t he illu stra tion B, the 7th column with a sum o f one is the most des irab le loca tion fo r the series w af er . S te p 5
Review the list of com bina tion code numbers and strike out as imp rac tica l all comb inatio ns which cont ain dig its corr esp ond ing to code slots whi ch are loca ted in the column selected in step #4. In the illus tra tion , a com bina tion 10 17 24 w ou ld be elim inat ed since it contain s the d ig it 4 ', the c ode slot fo r whic h is in the 7 th column.
S te p 6 The req uire d qu an tity of key way units to be mast erkey ed should now be selected f rom th e rema ining gro up o f com bina tion code num bers. Remove from each o f these selected units, the tw o series wa fer s which are not loc ate d in the column reserved in s tep #4. Each of these key way units may s till be op era ted by its ow n key, but now, in a dd itio n, the y al l ca n be op er ate d by a maste rkey. S te p 7 The mas terke y whic h w ill op era te these units is made by notchi ng the key only at each loca tion whe re a com bina tion co de numb er occu rs.

Some specific d esig nat ion, such as the lette r < M = , should be stamp ed on the bow of the mas terkey . Factor y cut masterkeys are stamp ed with a regis try number pre fixe d with the lette r < R= . This numbe r is an ind ex to the fac tor y records which contain de tai led in fo r mati on, such as the job name, loca tion and the com binat ions con trol led by this maste rkey. Factor y cut chang e keys which ope rate the ind ivid ual key wa y units in a m asterk eyed system are st am pe d w it h a c o m b in a tio n nu m ber. This numbe r has the same m ean ing as tha t st ampe d on stock keys (see pag e #7). The 2nd di git , alwa ys < 0 = on stock keys, now assumes the number of the column in the key way which contains the series wa fe r. Stock keys whose key way units have been conve rted into maste rkeye d units should reflec t this ch an ge by ov e rs ta m p in g th e 2n d di gi t with the ap pr op ria te numbe r 1 thro ugh 7.
Oc cas ion ally it becomes necessary to pro vid e two or more group s of mas terke yed key way units with each gro up having its o wn maste rkey and , in ad dit ion , a key cal led a gra nd masterkey which wo uld op era te the ke ywa y units in al l the grou ps.
