Technical field
The invention is generally directed to the instrument and method replicated to key, and more specifically, the invention relates to
And for reading the specific characteristic in the surface for the sword for being cut into key (such as high security key) simultaneously using electronic device
The data are optionally provided to the instrument and method of key duplication machines.
Background technology
Key reproduction technology for standard single sided key and double-sided key is well-known.In general, utilize this field
In known any number of different system key (master key) to be copied is replicated on the key billet suitably identified.So
And there are broad range of high security lockset and key type, wherein, lockset, which is specifically designed, to be difficult to disclose out, and key
Spoon, which is specifically designed, to be difficult to replicate.It is usually considerably complicated for replicating the process of high security key as a result, and need high
Expensive and complicated key-cut equipment.In addition, being successfully, reproduced for high security key usually requires that pinpoint accuracy, so as to correctly
Operate lockset.Because all these are constrained, high security key is successfully, reproduced usually that also requirement is done some training very often and experience is rich
Rich personnel such as locksmith.
There are many different types of high security locksets and keys.For example, some require the tooth in sword to cut with difference
Compound angle is cut.These angled cuttings are so that replicating the duplication on equipment in standard key is less likely.High safety
Property key the other types unique surface feature for not fully penetrating key blade that includes being cut into key blade it is (such as internal
Cutting, rattle snake (sidewinder, also referred to as laser cutting), scrobicula) and side lever key.Again, such cutting is so that marking
The duplication that quasi- key is replicated on equipment is less likely.The high security key of other types verifies key using electronic responder
Spoon.Such electronic device requires equipment special to read and duplicate acknowledgement device function.Also exist and utilize non-standard sword geometry
The high security key of (such as cross or tubulose) and other unique sword style types.The geometry of these keys and cutting
Pattern all requires dedicated replicate to equip.There are being permitted for all these types and other kinds of high security lockset and key
Multiple changing type, because it is by many different lockset manufacturer productions for many years.Some even with more than one type high safety
Property feature, to declare the safety of higher level.
Due to complexity, broad range of expensive duplication equipment and need to go deep into all these of experience and knowledge, it is high
The duplication of security key is mainly limited to locksmith market.Due to these are similary, retail key-cut clothes are provided
Other shops (such as hardware store, house fitting-up shop and auto-parts shop) of business can not provide these services.Drop
It is next that the cost of low equipment and the system for reducing level of skill needed for duplication high security key replicate industry for retail key
Saying will be very valuable.
