Sword Keys
Take note that these keys come as key blanks. While the handle features an accurate replica, the key blade itself has not been cut to a specific bitting. Once you receive your key blank, you’ll need to get it cut at your local locksmith. There are two common types of keyways in the United States – Kwikset and Schlage. So it’s highly likely that your key is one of these two, especially if you’re living in the US.
To determine the type of keyway you’re using, look at the head of your existing key. Kwikset keys have a round head with three holes at the top. On the other hand, Schlage keys have an edgy head with a single hole at top. Aside from the shape, you can also easily identify your keyway through the engraving on the head. KW1 denotes a Kwikset key while SC1 denotes a Schlage key.
Furthermore, you can also distinguish these two types by looking at the grooves (indents) on your key. Kwikset keys have two grooves while Schlage keys only have one groove. If your key doesn’t match any of these descriptions, it’s very likely that your key is entirely different. And the keys may not be compatible with your lock.
