Obtain the lock service package for the vehicle being serviced by referring to the Part Number And Usage Chart for correct application.
Determine the matching key cut depth at each key station (any of the following three methods may be used to determine the key cut depth at each key
station).
^
Use the OEM key code provided with the vehicle and look up the cut pattern in the key code table (the selling dealer should have the key code or the
customer may be able to provide it). A key code table comes with the Rotunda Key Cutter (011-00215).
^
Use a "key decoder" to determine each cut height. A decoder may be included with the Rotunda Key Cutter or can be ordered separately through
Rotunda (Decoder Part Number 011-RMT61). Equivalent decoders are commonly available through the locksmith industry. A key decoder is a plate
with an elongated slot corresponding to the different key cut heights.
^
Using the customers key, measure the key cut depth at each key station using Figure 2 of the instruction sheet contained within each lock service
package.
One of the steps in building a new lock is to insert the key and verify the tumblers are flush to the cylinder. This step is clearly spelled out in the
instruction sheet. This will ensure that the lock is rebuilt properly before it's installed in the vehicle.
