Schlage Waffer Tumbler Lock Tip

The Schlage wafer tumbler lock is an older model that  have been out of production for many years However, there are still some of them out there most likely. I know a lot of locksmith technicians tend to replace those locks when they run into them when doing a job. When they were popular in the market, I did  a lot of of keying and re-keying of them and I made a set on the side to make the re-key job go much faster. The keys have seven spaces and only one depth. Each space had the same depth. There are left and right cylinders as determined by which Side the tip cut is on, referred to as 10's and 20's which are opposite of each other.

To re-key one of these locks, I had to disassemble the complete lock and take the cylinder out of the outer knob. Once I had the cylinder out of the outside knob, I would slide the #1 key in the cylinder to see if it was a 10 or 20, as soon as I found out which it was I would put that cut on an uncut key blank. Next step, would be to insert that key blank into the cylinder and look for wafers that were sticking up above the shear line. If I saw wafers sticking up in the 3rd, 5th and 6th position for example, I would take the set of keys and use key #3, #5 and #6 and put a cut in those positions. The cuts could be all on one side or some on the other, but wherever I saw a wafer sticking up I would put a cut in that position regardless of which side it was on. As soon as you put a cut in each position where the wafer was sticking up you would have a completed key.
