3.3 Gauging Methods
3.3.1 Standard Cylinder Key With Shoulder Gauging Using Jaw A (Example:
Schlage, DSD #60)
) Place the key blank in Jaw A. Raise the Shoulder
Gauge to its upright position. Position the key blank
with the shoulder of the key lightly touching the left
hand edge of Shoulder Gauge (avoid undue pressure
– see Note below).
Note: the spacing of the key cuts can be significantly affected
by any damage incurred to the Shoulder Gauge. Handle the
Shoulder Gauge with care! Damage to the Shoulder Gauge
most often occurs when the gauge comes in contact with the
cutter, or when undue pressure is used when gauging against
the key’s shoulder. Make sure to gently position the key blank
against the Shoulder Gauge to avoid damage.
2) Make sure the Tip Gauge
(if installed) is out of
the way. The Red Tip
Gauge is pulled to the rear
and safely in the detent
position (Position )
before continuing, and the
Horseshoe Tip Gauge is
removed.
