FAQs
What is a key blank?
A key blank is a un-cut piece of metal shaped like a key, intended to be cut by a locksmith to a specific pattern, creating a functional key.
What does 'LT100 system' mean?
The LT100 system refers to a specific keying and lock profile manufactured by Draper. This key blank is designed to be cut for locks within that particular system.
Can I cut this key myself?
While technically possible with specialized equipment, it is strongly recommended to have this key blank cut by a professional locksmith. They have the expertise and tools to ensure accurate duplication.
What is the material of the key blank?
The product description does not specify the exact material, but it is made of durable metal suitable for key cutting and lock use.
How do I know if I need model 35?
You need model 35 if your existing Draper padlocks are part of the LT100 system and are designed to use this specific key profile. It's best to check an existing key or the lock itself.
Where can I get this key blank cut?

Troubleshooting
Key blank does not fit cutting machine.
Verify the key blank model (35) and ensure it is compatible with the specific key cutting machine being used. Consult the machine's manual.
Duplicated key does not operate lock.
This is likely due to incorrect cutting. The key blank itself is functional, but the duplication process may have been inaccurate. Re-measure and re-cut the key, or consult a different locksmith.
Key blank appears damaged or corroded.
Inspect the blank for damage. If minor corrosion is present, it may still be usable if it doesn't affect the cuts. If significantly damaged or corroded, use a new blank.
