Laser Wave Milling Technology
Serpentine Wave Groove Keys (Laser Track Keys) replace edge bitting cuts with a continuous undulating CNC-milled wave channel along the flat face of the key blade.
Dual-Locking Mechanism
- Primary Tumblers: Operates standard vertical or horizontal bottom pins.
- Secondary Interactive Sliders: The laser-cut wave channel guides springless internal sliders. When the key is inserted, the sliders align with a solid side-bar.
- Anti-Impressioning: Because sliders apply zero downward spring tension, impressioning and decoders cannot read cut depths.
Frequently Asked Engineering & Selection Questions
Q1: Why are laser wave track keys virtually impossible to pick?
They incorporate springless side-bar sliders driven by a wave channel that apply no spring feedback for lock picks to feel.
