Hello, to my fellow forum members! Im hoping to find someone here in the states that can help me out. I just purchased a set of High Security Dollar Cuffs with the split bit, flat key design. I borrowed Damon's pic from his site to show the key im referring to. I either need to purchase a key if someone has one or I need someone to make a photo copy of their key and mail the photocopy to me so that I may use it as a template to attempt making my own key. Does anyone here in the states have one that they can help me out, please? I appreciate any help I can get with this one.

Hi Richard,

I'm happy you are getting help. This is a very tricky key with small tolerances.

Many years ago a very skilled friend of mine helped me out. He had to figure out the key pattern by trying it out and it took lots of time.
He finally made a perfectly working key (the bright one). He then used it as a prototype and made three keys that were lazer cut but these are unfortunately gone except from the one I have myself.
The key on Damon's photo is one of them. Michael Busch has the third one.

Thank you for the offer, Arioch. James says that he will send me the photocopy of the key for me to use, but I do appreciate you stepping forward to help. It would be a great help, if you had the actual key to sell! LOL! Wish me luck on making one.

I think I can help. These are the pics that were sent to me by another collector.

Once the key was filed to fit, it ended up being 1.6mm in thickness, overall.

Ron, the top scale is in mm and the bottom is inches. The scale in Richards pictures looks like mm.

A BIG THANK YOU to Ron Spitz, Richard Knips, and James Slips for the offering to help as well as the help on my Dollar cuff key. The key isn’t finished but the rest is just shaping the fob. Ron J
