Looking for a couple key blanks to fit the Yale Fidelity

Donnie

Hi Team, I am in need of a couple of key blanks to fit the Larger of the 2 Yale Fidelity push key padlocks. there is a large & small version of this series…. The 635 also takes the same blank………………………………………..slight offset only, NO RIPPLES… I have machined a couple of flat keys thin enough on the surface grinder to fit, but would rather have an offset key..I can make a die & press a couple, but only need 2 or 3..
This key has a slight offset & is NOT the one’s that I searched for previously………donnie

Old Yale 26 crosses to Graham 2790, Old Ilco 1294 and Keil 210A if that helps any. All are unfortunately
l-o-n-g obsolete, see thumbnail attached.

are these like the vulcan? is there a key # i have not any blanks but have a 121-a 127,a 73,a 85 that fit the vulcan 2″
still looking

Donnie

Yes Nathan, the 2″ Fidelity, Vulcan & 635 all use the same blank….the only # that I am sure of at the moment that I need is a # 79….
Perhaps I could weld the other cut keys closed & recut them.. once I get the lock open I use nails from a strip of nails that are used in a nail gun to make a model / profile that works, taping them together, then transfer that to a blank… a couple that I need keys for have no key identification anywhere on the lock? If you have any that are not cut too deep, I may be able to file them off & recut them, or with any luck they may just work….If you wan to part with them, Let me know what you want for them & I will send $$……….donnie
The 605 which I need blanks for also is DIFFERENT , it has ½ of the bitting end rippled & ½ flat..

Sorry I can’t do pictures…….. I have a difficult time getting them from my camera to the forum
I have done it a few times in the past, but it usually gives me a fit

Pete has helped me a LOT with photos of the blanks that I need & numbers also for anyone with some OLD STOCK..thanks Pete

the 605 and baffler take the same blank and i do not have any. looking for the blanks i found some more locks that 2 of the keys fit.
i have some 1222b flat keys that might work. cut off the end and mill about .003 from opposite sides. i think you have to mill up about ½″ on each side.
the 1222b almost fits in,they are .050x.360 if you think they will work for you i can send them to you,think i better hang on to the fidelety ones.
the fidelity ones from stop to end are 7/16″ then shorter in the center,not much room to cut down and cut down the stops to.here is a couple of pictures that might help
if the 1222b will work for you ,you can have them,sorry none that your looking for.

nathanbonstein

finished looking,i can send you 2 of the keys and 3 of the 1222b if you like ?
i found another vulcan that a key fit.

nathanbonstein

Donnie

Yes, these are what I mentioned…….. I will send them to you this week…………donnie
