Distributor “locksmith” keyways

Commonly called “restricted” keyways

not patented
The primary purpose of patented high security locks is the prevention of unauthorized key duplication.
Contracts, factory marked blanks, limited distribution, key records controls, and strong utility patents are
essential to state-of-the-art key control.
Fabrication of Peaks Preferred key blanks by anyone other than Kaba is an infringement of utility patent
7.18.1941.
Patent Criteria: A novel mechanical feature on the uncut blank, without which the lock will not operate, is the
critical mechanical requirement for a utility patent to protect against unauthorized key duplication.
Kaba Access Control and Kaba Holding AG will bring legal action against any person or persons producing
or contributing to the production of unauthorized Peaks keys or key blanks.
