n. a key cut to a specific code rather than duplicated from
a pattern key. it may or may not conform to the lock
manufacturer's specifications - ANS Code Key

n. the bottom of a key cut - ANS Cut Root
K
n. the shape of the bottom of a key cut. It may have a flat
C

LO
n. a set of keys used to make a code original key on a key
duplicating machine to a lock manufacturer's given set of
YC
key bitting specifications. Each key is cut with the correct
spacing to one depth only in all bitting positions, with one

ST
n. a designation assigned to a particular key which
includes the actual combination of the key - ANS Direct
Code
n. the dimension obtained by adding the root depth of a
key cut to the length of its corresponding bottom pin which

be the same as the actual plug diameter. - ANS Effective

YC
surfaces must be aligned, removing obstruction(s) which
prevented the plug from moving - ANS Shear Line
n. the dimensions from the stop to the center of the first
D
cut and/or to the centers of successive cuts - ANS
U
Spacing
ST
n. the part of a key from which all cuts are indexed and
which determines how far the key enters the keyway -
