CODE KEY MACHINES

KX-1 Code Key Machine
Framon's Revolutionary Code Key Machine ... When You Need Accuracy and Speed

Some call it the "Electric Punch" - the KX-1 code key machine is designed to quickly and accurately code cut cylinder keys and, in particular, high-security keys. This key machine uses interchangeable depth and space cams to cut just about any cylinder key in use today. The cams take only seconds to interchange, and no adjustment is needed from one manufacturer to the next.

We've tested the machine on locks such as Medeco, Assa, Schlage Primus, Kaba PEAKS, and Best. Kaba recommends the machine for cutting PEAKS .140 and .150 keys. Assa offers the machine to their Twin/V-10 end users.

The machine is capable of cutting keys accurate to .0005" in about 15 seconds. For interchangeable core-type keys, the vise has a built-in tip stop. For others such as Medeco or Schlage, a shoulder stop properly aligns the key.

When switching from one manufacturer to another, simply remove an Allen screw to take the cam off the machine. Reinstall the screw to put the new cam on the machine. Of course, depending on which type of key you plan on cutting, a cutting wheel change may also be necessary. Patented keys such as Medeco KeyMark™ may also need a vise change to properly hold the key.

The KX-1 is ideal for institutional locksmiths using only one or two key systems. Locksmiths who do large masterkey systems or routinely cut high-security keys will also appreciate the new KX-1 code key machine.

Why All the Kits?
The KX-1 can easily cut any of the keys above without any adjustment when switching from one manufacturer's keys to another's. Simply change the cams, as well as the vise and cutter if needed.

The Kwikset and Medeco kits use the same vise, so you would only need to order kit #4 for Medeco and kit #3 for Kwikset (or vise-versa).
NOTE: The KX-1 uses standard Framon cutters - if you are ordering a KX-1 code key machine and already have a particular cutter, simply order a #2 kit and use your existing cutters!
