Hey LB,

That was pretty quick.

Did you have to send them any keys for cutting?

Thanks, Jim

[Lockboy1691]

No, there is a sheet where you write down all the things the keys say on them and take pictures of both sides of the keys but it was alot easier for me since i do work at a locksmith shop i know what my keys are so i was able to tell them exactly what i wanted and they knew exactly what i needed and sadi they will send it to me

LB,
Thanks for the answer.
One more question though.
Do you have to cut the keys when you recieve them?
Thanks, Jim

PS I am still interested in your project.

[Lockboy1691]

yes they send you what they call blades they are basically the blanks but have a special plastic top specially designed fro the keyport i really wish i was there for that meeting i could have been a co-inventor

LB,
Thanks for the info.
And don't lose heart.
Your design is a great alternative to theirs.
I am still on the list for 2 right?
Thanks Again, Jim

[Lockboy1691]

of course you are still on the list for 2 but i got my keyport today and it is alot smaller tan i thought it would be
here are some comparison pics of the 2:

and the Keyport holds 6 keys in that holder

LB,
Great Pix.
I may have to get one.
Although, I still think that the total cost for the Common Man/Woman for that device would be close to the one hundred dollar mark when it is all said and done. (Cost, Shipping, and Key Cutting)
With your product, I could put it in the hands of My Mother, and without any modification to her keys, she could put it together and have a device that would help her. I'll explain...
My Mom is getting up there in age and any device that is larger than a key will help her in turning the key in a lock for example.
Stick with it. You are on the right track.
Once again, Thanks for the Pix.
Jim

i was surprised at how well these pics came out because i took them on my cell phone emailed them to myself and put them on photobucket

[Lockboy1691]

so astroturf i am working on the universal protoype i wouls like to get some pictures of all your keys just so i can get a practicla size of what the body will look like. but the only thing i can see being a problem with this is that some peoples keys have thos black tops and also have chips in them and stuff. i know it is not my form but if you send me pics of your keys on this form it would be really helpful

Thanks, Jim
