however the gas tank locks typically only have
spaces 2-6.
USING THE ACCU-READER (IGNITION)
(The following is used only if ignition has been
changed out to a different key)
1) Always thoroughly clean the lock with a electronics
safe cleaner to free any potentially stuck wafers.
2) Use the alignment holes through the Accu-Reader
key to assist in judging the distance from one wafer
position to the next.
3) The KW16 ignition is different in that 1 & 2 depth
wafers rest at the same height and 3 & 4 depth
wafers rest at the same height. Fortunately, the
ignition lock is very sloppy and easy to originate a
key for even when its been changed out. This
process does use half-cuts, but is very easy and very
effective.
Place the insertion/release slide in the slot on the
Accu-Reader key on the #3-6 side. Fully insert the
Accu-Reader key into the ignition and remove the
slide. The Accu-Reader key is now ready to read the
#6 wafer.
(Note: If the Accu-Reader trapped a
wafer shortly after inserting it into the keyway,
use the release slide on the opposite side of the
key to release the Accu-Reader. This happens
when wafers fall into the trap slot for the 1-3 side,
since these locks have wafers only on one side.
Flip the Accu-Reader over and restart step 2).
4) When reading the ignition, only the #3 depth slide
is used. It will line up with the
Y
)
Yes
mark or it will
line up with the (
N
)
No
mark.
a) If the #3 depth slide lines up with the
Y
then record a
3
½ for the depth of wafer position #6.
If the #3 depth slide lines up with a
N
, then record a
1
½ for the depth of wafer position #6.
b) Repeat step (a) for all 6 positions in the
ignition.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to flip the Accu-
Reader over and use the 1-3 side while reading the
KW16 ignition.
c) Once you have recorded all six positions
as either 1 ½ or 3 ½ cut these depths to the
corresponding spaces.
TIP:
Only cut one side of the
blank, test fit your key, after noting any marks, cut the
opposite side of the blank with the new cuts, if
necessary.
TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
1) Always clean the keyway thoroughly before
starting.
2) Use the diagram on the protective case to identify
the YES line and the NO line when reading a lock.
3) Watch the demonstration video online at:
4) While holding the Accu-Reader key straight, keep
slight upward pressure on the slide to ensure the tip
is resting along the bottom of the slide track.
