Clopay Lock/Keys
pstryjew
I have a Clopay garage door, with a lock problem.
I need to get a duplicate key made, but the even though the key looks
like a
Schlage blank, it is thinner. The standard Schlage blank won't insert
into the
lock.
Does anyone know where to get a duplicate blank (one local locksmith,
just said "Garage Door, eh? Good Luck")? How easy it is to change the
core, to a standard Schlage Core?

Your local GOOD locksmith should have the blank. just the head of the key
won't be square like the org. key. you might want to check with the local
garage door installers in the area or large chain hardware store to look
for another handle assy. or whole lock replacement package.. Schlage SC1
Rim cylinders 99% of the time can be retrofitted and keyed into your system.
BTW.. make sure the handle is carrage bolted in!!!

that cylinder using his Master Lock padlock rekeying kit and code card for
proper depths. Pin's are about the same dia. Sometimes it's best to
start off with new key anyway. Take the handle to the shop to make sure
the key works .It's not that hard to take it off.

That Locksmith can not be keeping up with the industry if he's not carrying
these blanks.
This is the only PROPER (not a mailbox blank) blank that will work.
There is also a LORO knock off, Ilco #X1014L.

You may also, along with the other information given to you, think about
replacing the rim cylinder. It's easy to take off and you can get a new
brass rim cylinder cheap with two keys in the keyway of your choice. You
can match it to the other locks in the house if you wish.

I understood that this was probably not a "good" locksmith, but it was
a "close" locksmith. I trying to get a copy before going out of town.
The local hardware store tried a generic Schlage blank, and that's how
I found it was too wide. I don't know if admitting I went to a
hardware store for a duplicate will get me flamed in this group ;-)
I would like to change the cylinder, it is a separate unit, (versus
having the cylinder in the handle). I'm also concerned about security
of the door after reading some posts. I don't need to look to see if
the handle can be "snapped" off or unscrewed. I think some red
(thermal removal) Locktite on the threads would keep it from being
removed.
I don't need "Ft. Knox" security, but probably better than the stock
garage door.
Thanks Pete

Code series stamped right on the face of the exterior cylinder housing.
I've seen plenty of different type of rims used in the past 20 years, these
in reference I spoke of being the most frequent in use in our area... and
very seldom have I seen the case where only ONE type of key could be used..
most of the time there is a cross reference to another blank. Just like you
just mentioned another blank after you said "This is the only PROPER (not a
mailbox blank) blank that will work" oh well.. just guessing without the
actual cylinder in hand..
My bust though I think, I should of caught the "Looks like a schlage"
thing.. Cause the 1537 or the Lori key X1014L looks alot like the schlage
just thinner in width... got to love this guessing game... learning
experience for all parties..

don't bet on it..

then lock it from the inside.
extend the flat locking bar through the wheel track, drill a
hole in the end and padlock the hole.
(you will have to go through your house to unlock it)

It is the one used that looks like an EA27 blank on Cloplay locks.
