FAQs

What is a blank key for?

A blank key is a plain, uncut key that can be precisely cut by a locksmith to match the specific configuration of a lock, allowing for the creation of new or duplicate keys.

What does 'UK size 85/50 50mm' mean?

This refers to a standard key blank designation in the UK, indicating its dimensions and profile. The '50mm' typically relates to the length of the key blade.

Can I cut this key myself?

It is highly recommended to use a professional locksmith for cutting. Key cutting requires specialized equipment and precision to ensure the key works correctly and does not damage the lock.

How long will it take to get a key cut?

The dispatch time for the blank key is usually within 2 working days. The time taken by a locksmith to cut the key typically ranges from a few minutes to an hour, depending on their workload and equipment.

What is the return policy if the key blank is not compatible?

You can return your goods within 30 days of receipt. Please ensure the key blank is in its original condition.

Where can I find a locksmith to cut this key?

Local hardware stores, security shops, or searching online for 'local locksmith services' will provide options. It's advisable to choose a locksmith experienced with Abus products.

Are these keys suitable for any padlock?

These key blanks are specifically designed for the Abus 85 Series Padlocks. While they are a standard UK size, compatibility with other brands or series is not guaranteed and should be verified.

Troubleshooting

Key does not fit into the lock.

Verify that the key blank is indeed for the Abus 85 Series and the correct UK size 85/50 50mm. Ensure no burrs or debris are on the key blank or lock cylinder. Consult a locksmith if issues persist.

Newly cut key does not operate the lock.

The key may not have been cut accurately. Take the newly cut key and the lock (or original key) back to the locksmith for adjustment or re-cutting. Ensure the locksmith used the correct key blank.

Lock feels stiff with the new key.

This could indicate a slight misalignment during cutting. Lubricate the lock cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant. If stiffness persists, the key may need to be re-cut.
