In this video I show how to stop keys rolling out of the jaws when cutting on a key machine. This is a common problem that causes miscuts and wasted blanks, even for experienced locksmiths.
I demonstrate using the LF27 key, which is well known for rolling in the jaws during cutting. I show how to load the key correctly, how to hold it so it stays stable, and the small tricks professionals use to get a clean, accurate cut every time.
This video covers why some keys roll, what causes the miscut, and how to prevent it before you press cut. Once you understand this, cutting problem keys like the LF27 becomes easy and repeatable.
This video is aimed at locksmiths, apprentices, and lock shops who want better cuts and fewer mistakes when key loading.
