KEYS
BEST recommends that you secure your key combinator to a flat surface
before you begin cutting keys. You can install bolts either through each
of the rubber feet or through two holes on the base of the combinator.
Contact BEST for further instructions.
Loading the key
To load a BEST standard key blank:
1. Gripping the key clamp knob, pull the key carriage completely
forward.
2. Turn the key clamp knob counterclockwise to open the key clamp
spring (for left-handed combinators, turn the key clamp knob
clockwise). See
3. With the curved edge of the key blank against the locating surface,
slide the key blank into the key opening. Make sure that the knife
edge of the key clamp spring fits into the groove of the key. See
