Recesses in a key are formed by a cutter having a shape corresponding to the shape of the tumbler pin to be associated with the recess. The recesses to receive perpendicularly extending pins are formed with parallel opposed side walls perpendicular to the key surface to decrease the total space required for recesses of greatest step value. Recess for 45.degree. inclined permutations are formed with one flat wall. Methods and apparatus are disclosed.

Key for a cylinder lock and method for making same

A key, for use with a rotary cylinder lock of the type having a rectangular key slot and tumbler pins protruding into one or both wide sides of the slot, has a blade with permutations of recesses of different depths (step values) to receive the pins. The recesses are elongated in the direction of blade insertion. At least one of the recesses is located so that its associated pin engages the recess at the end of the recess when the blade is fully inserted so that, after rotation is started, movement of the blade in the longitudinal direction is positively limited.

Key for a cylinder lock

A key for use with a cylinder lock of the type having tumbler pins protruding into the key slot perpendicularly and at inclined angles wherein elongated recesses to receive the pins are formed in the key with the long dimensions of the recesses extending transversely across the key. The recesses are successively formed with a single conical-tipped cutter shaped like the tumbler pins. The cutter is moved in a U-shaped path into, across and away from the key, leaving sloping sides which form good slide paths for the pins. The recesses can have different depths and can merge stepwise into each other.

Key with transverse slots and method of making same

There is disclosed an emergency key mechanism on a cylinder lock with a double locking cylinder and a locking coupling axially moveably fitted thereon. The mechanism comprises a coupling spindle and two coupling wings mounted in a rotary manner thereon for the alternative coupling of a cam for the locking bolt arranged in rotary manner between the two locking cylinders in the center of the stator common thereto to one of the two cylinder rotors by alternative positive locking engagement of one of the two non-rotary coupling wings axially displaceable in the rotors in an opening of the cam web, wherein the two coupling wings are axially displaceable on the coupling spindle and when the locking coupling is in the normal position are axially spaced from one another by a spring positioned on the said coupling, and wherein at least one of the two coupling wings has an operating member, and via the latter is coupleable in the cam web by an operating pin mounted in axially displaceable manner in the shortened key blade of an emergency key.
