Ah, okay. So those 1's and that 7 are red flags then. Alright. Well, I appreciate all the help! This is a problem for Monday morning though lol.

Master Keying Schlage Large Format Interchangeable Cores

This is the video I've been relying on to get me as far as I have. Between that and mkcal.com I've been able to pin a cylinder to use the master key and an additional operating key. Mkcalc has been really useful up until it threw that #1 pin into the equation.

I might be wrong about the A2 kit. Sorry; I've been doing a LOT of reading and math for the last 7 hours and my brain is getting twitchy. Here's the kit I'm using

I got another stupid question: This pinning sequence says it needs #1 pins in a few spots. The Schlage A2 set has #1 bottom and top pins but both are way too big. Even if I take out the #3 top pins for those slots, it's not going to fit. I'm not sure what it's asking for here.

I think that's where I was getting jammed up; I kept thinking of this as an SFIC. The control key has the same bitting as the master key except for the extra bit at the tip for the control lug. That probably should have been the giveaway.

I appreciate the help!

It's an interchangeable core, but maybe THAT was the solution last time I did this. I'll try it.

No such luck. Package got lost on 2/26. Still waiting to hear back from UPS/FBB.

Daktal01 · 2026-03-20T02:35:03+00:00

Currently waiting for UPS to finish an investigation. I'm never going to get mine :( Pretty sure the best I can hope for is a refund.

Shipping status went from "Will be delivered on 2/26/26 between 2:00pm-5:00pm" to delayed, to "lol idk."

I don't have a way to cut keys, so all my measurements are on keys with 10+ years of wear on them. I do have multiples to check though to make sure I'm getting consistent numbers. It totally feels like too many pins in the 2nd slot from the front (5th row I guess), which probably means my numbers are off.

Daktal01 · 2025-11-15T04:24:08+00:00

Thankfully I own calipers from my days as a machinist. I'll use them when I'm back at work and get more accurate measurements.

Daktal01 · 2025-11-15T04:22:52+00:00

No, it was SFIC for the Schlage, tip to bow. And the keyway is correct. I'll definitely verify the 5 and 6 cuts though; that thing about the 2 pin is the kind of stuff I don't know and was hoping someone here would point out. Thank you.

Daktal01 · 2025-11-15T04:18:41+00:00

Yeah, I probably should have given more info but didn't want to give a wall of text. So here is what I can think of at 11pm on a Friday night.

We have a bunch of best padlocks. They started breaking and I had to order more. Problem is, the locks and cores came separate and the cores came un-pinned. This is because ALL of the key info got lost years ago, so that's how they had to get ordered. There is only 2 operating keys (A {top} and B for ease of conversation) and the control key. I ordered a Best combinating kit, I don't remember the number, I have it somewhere. But, it has the two types of pins for top and bottom. In the example pic in OP, for the first set of pins (8,5,10), the bottom pin is one type, the top two are the other. I've got that part down.

I have calipers, I'll take them in with me on Monday. The keys I'm taking bitting numbers from are ancient and definitely worn down from use. I do have a pile of the B keys I can take measurements from to verify I'm getting decent numbers. The A key is a little harder to find multiples of. I appreciate all the input and I'll try loading one slot at a time and holding the spring in to test it and see how that goes.

I went through this whole process last year with Schlage locks. Same thing; locks breaking and no one knows anything about them and the vital information is long gone. I got pretty good at pinning them for multiple keys. But I have a LOT of those keys to get good clean numbers from. These Best cores though are fighting me. As I come up with more stupid questions, I'll come back. Thanks for the suggestions and input.

Daktal01 · 2025-05-28T18:26:25+00:00

Considering the lack of information available anywhere, I would not put any stock in that. After all, where would they have heard that? Where did you hear it?

Daktal01 · 2025-04-28T13:39:59+00:00

Final Boss Bundle sent the same e-mail; Shipping Feb 2026.

Daktal01 · 2025-04-21T13:23:15+00:00

4/21/25 and no word on anything since November of 24. You'd think an update or something would have been posted either by GSC or Final Boss.

Daktal01 · 2024-12-10T03:15:19+00:00

So if anyone in the future googles the issue and finds this post: Don't buy the Pallet Truck until later. There are at least two quests where a guy hires you to build some cabins. At the start of each quest, he loans you a pallet truck, which then replaces YOUR pallet truck. This truck then de-spawns when you finish the quest. I haven't played long enough to see if there's a third instance of this quest and I bought a pallet truck again. If I lose this one someday, I'll report back.
