Buying Guide: Choosing a Key Blank

Standard and Reserve Blanks
The standard house and office blank has a 5 pin profile, a C-key bow and a full plate design, and it is sold in a pack of 50. The Reserve house key blank is sold as a single key in a pack of 10 and carries the Baldwin logo on its bow.

Matching Your Lock
The standard blank is made for standard entrance locks with a double cylinder function, and the Reserve blank has a C-keyway. Compare the keyway and bow style on your old key, and check your lock manual if you are unsure. Have a locksmith or key-cutting service cut the blank to match your lock.
