My experience with Taylor keys is that they are poor quality and fit with a rough surface. I wouldn't use one in an expensive cuff in case a bit breaks off. I think they are cast from pot metal, but an expert can enlighten us on that. I prefer to find an original key or get a new one cut.Hello, Came across a box of new old stock handcuff keys. They are marked Taylor HK3. I have many packages of these and each package has a different number. Numbers like 676, 677, 678 etc. Does anyone know anything about these?
Thank!!
pot metal is a slang term used to describe die cast zinc. Taylor keys are not die cast zinc but sand cast malleable iron.Hello, Came across a box of new old stock handcuff keys.

Taylor keys for handcuffs first and foremost are not keys, they were sold as BLANKS, and as such need to be "cut" and hand finished before use. Some MI blanks are of high strength and good quality, the small keys Taylor produced such as for luggage and handcuffs are basura.Hello, Came across a box of new old stock handcuff keys.

If you owned a Taylor catalog as I do, you would clearly see they sold the handcuff related items as "BLANKS" not "KEYS". A key is so called once it is cut, machined, filed, or fitted to properly operate the lock it was intended. Calling a blank a key would be like calling a frozen meat patty bought at your local grocer a burger. Both loosly resemble their completed counterpart, both require additional skill and labor to reach their full potential, both will be useless in the hands of an unskilled layperson and if you ordered a "key" to work your handcuff and instead sold a "blank", you would be just as pissed if you ordered a burger and were served a round frozed meat patty.
