Thank you XR2.

When I bought my genuine lock rebuild kit, I noticed that the wafers and spacer washers were identical to what came out of the old lock. I rebuilt the lock yesterday and it was very close to working. I think I hadn't read the code correctly.


For example, the cut nearest the tip of the key is obviously a No.1 (no cut) and I put a No. 4 wafer there. What is puzzling me is the wide cut that starts in the fourth position from
the tip. It's clearly some No.3 cuts but how many?
I've just degreased the parts and will try again on a trial and error basis.
