Key Cutting & Pinning
Staking technique
Capping blocks and fixtures are designed to support cores at their waist to prevent sleeves and shells from
becoming out-of-round. Working without proper equipment and technique can cause deformation resulting in
poor operation, and can void product warranty
• Use original pins and Kaba equipment.
• Do not use excessive force.
• Do not deform or score the shells.

with a plastic or rawhide mallet. Do not use excessive
force. Lubricate with Poxylube
