Thank you for purchasing the AccuReader
wafer reading system by LockTech. This system will
allow you to read the KW14 keyways completely and
accurately without the removal of the ignition.
Following a few simple steps it takes only minutes to
read the depths for each cut in each position for a
complete key.
The AccuReader works on the process of
elimination to decipher the correct depths of the lock.
By checking the deepest cut first you eliminate what
the cuts are not. Therefore it is essential to always
read depth slide #4 first.
KW14 keyways are usually 6 space, but
some utilize 7 spaces. This KW14 AccuReader will
read both 6 space and 7 space locks. Use the
reference guide to find out if your lock is 7 space or 6
space and follow the appropriate directions.
The AccuReader key is designed to be used
for wafer positions 4-7(7 space locks) or 3-6(6 space
locks) on one side of the key and wafer positions
1-3(7 space locks) or 1-2(6 space locks) on the
opposite side of the key. All the positions can be
read from one side of the key, however it is
recommended to flip the key over and use the other
side. This allows for reading the 1-3 or 1-2 wafer
positions with a fully or almost fully inserted key,
increasing the accuracy.
Please take the time to familiarize yourself
with the tools and verify all pieces are accounted for
from the list of contents below:
Package Contents:
1-AccuReader key
1-insertion/release slide
1-depth slide #4
1-depth slide #3
1-depth slide #2
1-Tube storage container
1-Tube Cap
USING THE ACCU-READER (7 space system)
1) Always thoroughly clean the lock with a electronics
by
safe cleaner to free any potentially stuck wafers.
2) Use the alignment holes through the AccuReader
key to assist in judging the distance from one wafer
position to the next.
3) Place the insertion/release slide in the slot on the
AccuReader key on the #4-7 side. Fully insert the
AccuReader key into the keyway and remove the
slide. The AccuReader key is now ready to read the
#7 wafer. (Note: If the AccuReader trapped a
wafer shortly after inserting it into the keyway,
use the release slide on the opposite side of the
key to release the AccuReader. This happens
when wafers fall into the trap slot for the 1-3 side,
since these locks have wafers only on one side.
Flip the AccuReader over and restart step 2).
4) Always start reading with the #4 depth slide
tool, then proceed to #3 & #2 in order, if
necessary. Fully insert the depth slide into the Accu-
Reader key. The alignment mark on the depth slide
will line up with the (Y) Yes mark or it will line up with
the (N) No mark.
a) If the #4 depth slide lines up with the Y
then the depth for the #7 wafer is a 4. If the depth
slide lines up with a N, then you must
proceed to the #3 depth slide.
b) If the #3 depth slide lines up with the Y
then the depth for the #7 wafer is a 3. If the depth
slide lines up with a N, then you must
proceed to the #2 depth slide.
c) If the #2 depth slide lines up with the Y
then the depth for the #7 wafer is a 2. If the depth
slide lines up with a N, then the depth for
wafer #7 is a 1.
d) Repeat steps a through c for each wafer
position until you have recorded the depth for wafer
position 7, 6, 5, & 4.
e) Using the insertion/release slide remove
the AccuReader key from the keyway and flip it over.
Insert the insertion/removal slide on the #1-3 side of
the AccuReader and fully insert the AccuReader
key back into the keyway. You are now ready to read
wafer position #3.
f) Repeat steps a through c for each wafer
position until you have recorded the depth for wafer
position 3, 2, & 1.
g) You now have recorded all the positions to
make a complete key.
