KX-1 Code Machine

KX-1

Framon's Revolutionary New Code Machine....Now Available!

What Is It? The KX-1 is designed to quickly and accurately code cut cylinder keys, and in particular, high security keys. The KX-1 uses interchangeable depth and space cams to cut just about any cylinder key in use today. The cams take only seconds to interchange, and no adjustment is needed from one manufacturer to the next.

We've already tested the machine on locks such as Medeco, Assa, Schlage Primus, Kaba PEAKS, and Best. Kaba has already approved and recommends the machine for cutting its' PEAKS .140 and .150 keys. Medeco and Assa both offer the machine to their KeyMark and Twin/V-10 end users. Other manufacturers are currently checking the machine out before adding their stamp of approval.

The machine is capable of cutting keys accurate to .0005" in about fifteen seconds. For interchangeable core type keys, the vise has a built-in tip stop. For others such as Medeco or Schlage, a shoulder stop properly aligns the key.

When switching from one manufacturer to another, simply remove an allen screw to take the cam off of the machine. Reinstall the screw to put the new cam on the machine. Of course, depending on which type of key you plan on cutting, a cutting wheel change may also be necessary. Patented keys such as Medeco KeyMark™ may also need a vise change to properly hold the key.

When purchased, the KX-1 comes set up for whichever manufacturer you prefer. Additional cams, cutters and vises can then be purchased separately based on your needs. Kits will be available for the following manufacturers:

Assa, Arrow, Best A-2, A-3 and A-4, Corbin-Russwin (including Emhart), Falcon, Kaba Peaks .140 and .150, Kwikset (including Titan), Master, Medeco Commercial, Bi-Axial, and KeyMark™, Sargent, Schlage Standard, Primus and Everest, Weiser, Yale

The KX-1 is ideal for institutional locksmiths using only one or two key systems. Locksmiths who do large masterkey systems or routinely cut high security keys will also appreciate the new KX-1.

Why All The Kits?

The KX-1 can easily cut any of the keys above without any adjustment when swithing from one manufacturer to another. Simply change the cams, as well as the vise and cutter if needed.
If you were a locksmith cutting PEAKS 140, Medeco Commercial, and Kwikset, here's what we would recommend:

	KX-1 key machine 		(KX-1-00)		
	Kit 4 for Kaba Peaks 140	(KXK404)		
	(Cams 15 & P, FC9054 cutter, Vise 2)
	Kit 4 for Medeco		(KXMC04)		
	(Cams 5 & V, FC8615 cutter, Vise 1)
	Kit 3 for Kwikset		(KXKW03)		
	(Cams 4 & X, FC9090)

The Kwikset and Medeco kits use the same vise, so you would only need to order kit #4 for Medeco and kit #3 for Kwikset (or vise-versa).
NOTE: The KX-1 uses standard Framon cutters - if you are ordering a KX-1 and already have a particular cutter, simply order a #2 kit - use your existing cutters!
