T0001 Tubular Key

thingiverse

This is a replacement T0001 key for a Southco tubular lock. The T0001 key (sometimes listed as T-0001, T001 and T-001) is an extremely common/generic cut that can be bought from a multitude of sources. In my case, it was securing a GE Wattstation EVSE to it's wall bracket and the original key was not left by the installer. Cuts were estimated from several pictures of real T0001 keys online. The outer "tooth" is slightly longer than needed and can be shaved down on the angled area if it will not turn when fully inserted. If you accidentally take off too much, it will just need to be held in while turning to keep the pins depressed correctly. If nothing else, the model can be used as a guide for cutting a real key. The lock itself has 7 pins, but the 4th is a 0 cut, leaving only 6 cuts on the printed model. Some versions of this lock may very well omit that pin entirely. I have left the arc of that cut in place on the model, should someone want to re-use this for a key that needs a cut there. Cut depths are multiples of ~0.4mm. Looking at the cut end of the key and going clockwise from the tooth, the cuts for this particular key are 6-4-6-0-4-2-2
