Steve, I thought about how what I did reduced the security of the lock. I considered that I barely took any material off of those 2, and the other 5 wafers still in original dimensions. That makes sense as to why it works one way and not the other. Nothing like info from a pro... One thing that makes this list great. All my keys work the same way in that lock, they were probably all made from the same bad key. Where can I get a new key made from the # code on the cylinder?
