PDQ HSC065 High Security Cut Key, 6-Pin

PDQ VAULT and High Security Keys and Key Cuts

These are PDQ factory keys for two closed key systems: the VAULT patented keying system and PDQ high security cylinders and cores. The range covers the VAULT key blank and VAULT master, grand master, great grand master, control and change key cuts, plus high security cut keys for 6-pin cylinders, 7-pin SFIC cores and 6-pin LFIC control keys on the TA keyway.

Key Features

• VAULT keys are tapered to pass the patented VAULT door inside the core, which blocks standard keys
• VAULT is covered by U.S. Patent #12338653 through 2044, and unauthorized duplication of VAULT keys is prohibited
• VAULT keys also operate standard SFIC cores, so a facility can move to VAULT in phases
• High security keys are cut at the factory; blanks for high security cylinders are not sold
• Key cuts cover every level of a master key system, from change key up to great grand master

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer Part Number: HSC065

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a restricted or patented keyway?
A restricted keyway uses key blanks set aside for limited use, so keys and cylinders can only be ordered with authorization. A patented keyway adds legal protection: PDQ VAULT is covered by U.S. Patent #12338653 through 2044, and only authorized distributors can supply VAULT keys and cores.

How does a master key system work?
A master key system groups locks so one key opens many doors while each door keeps its own change key. Levels run from change key to master, grand master and great grand master keys, and PDQ recommends no more than four levels.
