Usage Notes & Best Practices

• Use only on locks you are authorized to service. Verify owner permission or proper licensing. 
• Insert gently and follow the decoder index to feel wafer/tumbler positions; decoding produces cut depths which you can transfer to a code cutter or depth chart. 
• Practice on training locks — decoding requires touch and familiarity. 
• Do not force the tool; excessive force can damage the lock or tool. 
• Keep the tool clean and lightly oiled when stored to prevent corrosion.
