Key Decoder (For duplicating house keys)

thingiverse

3D printing house keys has become a viable solution. A common key decoder tool can be found at instructables.com. To decode the key cut code, follow these steps: 1. Locate the gap at the end of the decoder that matches your key. 2. Slide it down until it stops at a number; this is one of your cuts' codes. 3. Record the code for future reference. 4. Move to the next gap and repeat steps 2 and 3 four more times, capturing each cut's code along the way. Visit thingiverse.com/thing:52761 to access the duplicate key tool. Instructions: 1.
