Hi Friends!

I am busy cataloguing my collection and re-organizing all my keys. I'd like to let you all know that many of the keys I've been able to help supply will not be available in the future. So, the beautiful lost-wax cast keys made by Ian McColl are beginning to run out. I have Tower Bean, Bean Giant, and a few Marlin keys left. Once gone, you're on your own for getting keys made. I also have the beautiful laser cut keys for Romer handcuffs made by Ian. We are completely OUT of stock on Plug 8 keys, Bean keys, and a few others.

I do have Tower handcuff key blanks in stock and can make you Tower keys or Pinkerton keys. I also have a large supply of everything modern from Germany, USA, etc... Rankin keys of Ian's are gone but I can supply them myself. His wonderful Stotz keys are also gone, but again I can supply a key without the great original head Ian had lost-wax cast. So, if anyone needs any extra keys now would be the time to grab them while you can. Just email me with what you want, and I'll let you know if we have any left. I have them for Mattatuck, (Judd & Maltby round keys are also gone), old style peerless, All Towers, Chubb Detainer, Horst Moabit, Iver Johnson, Woods, Hiatt 1960, Maltby flat-key, Romer, Hamburg 8s, H & R Supers, Dollar cuffs (only a few left), and many others. I have many many other keys for both common and obscure cuffs including Pratt, many foreign and American modern swing through, Humane Restraint buckle keys, a very few Bean Cobb left, and please just ask. I am looking into getting some Bean keys laser cut, but so far no luck. I am not sure how much longer I will be able to fulfill orders so wanted to give some of you a chance to get what you need, or may want, now while they are available. Thanks so much, and again just drop me an email and let me know what you need.
Best Wishes to all my friends, both new and old, John Bushey

Think you are right Ian, I did send you a couple of photos of the restricted issue keys. There are 24 combinations used by Chubb, there are 4 different levers so 4x3x2 gives the 24 combinations. They could use the same lever twice but this is not the case. It is interesting I now have 4 original different Chubb keys and two that I made to fit cuffs so 6 differs so far. The cuffs are quite easy to unlock by applying pressure to the push button and using a simple L shaped pick lift each lever until the double lock is removed. Once you have done this push button until it almost double locks the cuff. Then I made 3 keys with the part of the key that moves the bolt cut right down and the part of the key that lifts the lever left high in positions 1,2 and 3 inserting these keys into the cuffs enables the levers to be decoded. Everything is packed at the moment for the big move back to the UK next year so sorry I am unable to tell you the combinations of the keys I have.

Thanks for the photo you sent, I can not argue with the fact keys exist with a 0 or no cut. Clearly more research is needed. Do you agree that with 5 cuts the combinations would be 60 provided no two cuts are the same?
Keep up the good work.
