Pro-Lok KDSC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What keyways does the Pro-Lok SC1 key decoder work with?
The Pro-Lok SC1 decoder reads Schlage and Schlage-type keys cut to factory increments. If you are working a Kwikset KW1 or another manufacturer's keyway, this is the wrong decoder for that key.
2) Can I use the SC1 decoder to read an existing key and get a bitting code for re-keying?
That is what it is built for. The SC1 decoder covers decoding, re-keying and code cutting on Schlage and Schlage-type keys, so a locksmith can read the depths off a customer's key and pin a cylinder or cut a duplicate to that code.
3) What are the "Sure Stop" steps on the Pro-Lok SC1 decoder for?
The Sure Stop steps give the key a positive stop at each factory depth increment instead of leaving you to eyeball the reading. That is what keeps depth calls consistent when you are decoding a worn key in the field.
4) Do I need a key machine to use the SC1 decoder, or does it cut keys itself?
The SC1 is a gauge, not a cutter. You use it to read or verify depths; the actual cutting still happens on your key machine. It supports code cutting by giving you the depth numbers to punch or dial in.
5) Is the Pro-Lok SC1 decoder durable enough for daily use in a shop or service van?
It is made from heavy duty stainless steel, so it holds its edges and step geometry under repeated use and does not rust in a truck box the way a plated steel gauge can.
6) Which model do I order for the Pro-Lok SC1 decoder?
Pro-Lok lists it as model KDSC, the SC1 decoder. There is one configuration, so there is no finish or size choice to specify on the order.
