RE: [DML] Key Copies

["K Creason" <dmc4687@xxxx>]

No, your cylinder isn't worn. Well,it may be, but the key working that way
doesn't necessarily mean it is worn.
It you examined the key there are probably five or six bits (cuts) that are
the same and in the same position. Only those bits are used, the rest are
superfluous for that particular lock and are used in other locks on the car.

I do some locksmith tinkering... I bought a mess of the volvo blanks and am
(but haven't in a while) making a set of depth gauges so that I can cut keys
back to original depths. It probably would be easier to just pull my
headliner and see if I have my key-code and go to a fully stocked
locksmith... but even then, he may not be able to help everyone, which is
what I would like to be able to do.

My local locksmith was easily able to make a copy of my door key (2-key
system). He just used a Volvo Key blank and it worked perfectly. However
he cut both sides of the key exactly the same and it still works. My
original door key is cut differently on either side but still works no
matter which side of the key I have up. Does this just mean I have a badly
worn lock cylinder?
