Key Decoder (For duplicating house keys)

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-3D-Print-House-keys/ This is a standard key decoder, use this to find the key cut code of a key and then use the code to duplicate it. Go to http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52761 to duplicate the key. Please read the instructions to use this decoder. The video above will show you how to use a decoder, although it's not necessary to watch, but may be helpful for those who don't understand my instructions. Instructions: 1.Put your cut through the largest gap at the end of the decoder. 2.Slide it down until it stops at a number. 3.Note down the number. 4.Move onto the next gap on the key. 5.Repeat the steps until all five cuts (gaps in the key) are decoded. 6. Go to http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:52761 7.Click on the customizer option above the download button. 8.Type in the code that was decoded earlier in order. 9.Look at the model, if it doesn't look like your original key then try reversing the key's number order. If it still doesn't look similar then go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuqEI7VvTcU and watch from 3:00 - 4:00 Any other information is irrelevant to this. 10.Create and download your key. 11.Print it off. 12.Try it out! You may need to use a fine file to get it to fit in your lock, personally I've never had to do this. For me, it works straight after I remove it from the build plate. This decoder will work for more than just Schlage, I have used it on many other types of locks. Credit to BosnianBill for the Video Credit to Belfry for making the Key duplicator design
