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?
Thanks,
Edward
