Pro-Lok LT700 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of locks can you impression with the Pro-Lok LT700 impressioning tool?
The Pro-Lok LT700 Standard Impressioning Tool is made for pin tumbler and wafer locks. Those are the two cylinder types it is built to work on, so it covers most residential and light commercial key-in-knob, deadbolt and wafer style cabinet or cam locks a locksmith runs into on a service call.
2) Does the Pro-Lok impressioning tool hold the key straight while you rock it?
It uses a true centerline action, so the blank stays aligned with the keyway instead of twisting off axis while you apply pressure. The handle clamps the head of the key securely, which is what keeps the marks readable on the blade rather than smeared.
3) Is the LT700 an impressioning handle only, or does it come with key blanks and files?
The LT700 is the impressioning tool itself, a grip that holds the key head. Blanks for the keyway you are working and a pippin or round file to cut the marks are separate purchases, so order those alongside it if you are setting up a kit from scratch.
4) Should a locksmith impression a lock or just pick it and read the wafers?
Impressioning with a tool like the LT700 gets you a working key off the cylinder, which is what you want when the customer has lost every key and needs one in hand, or when the lock is in place and you do not want to pull and disassemble it. Picking only opens the door once. On pin tumbler and wafer cylinders the LT700 is the route to an actual key.
5) How many versions of the Pro-Lok standard impressioning tool are there?
One: the LT700. There is no size, finish or handing choice to make, so the model number is the whole order.
6) Is this impressioning tool comfortable enough for repeated field use?
The handle on the LT700 is shaped to be easy to grip and sit comfortably in the hand, which matters because impressioning is a lot of small repeated rocking motions under pressure. It is a hand tool for van and service work, not a bench fixture.
