Fast Track Key Impressioning: The Fast and Fun Way to Make Keys for Locks

Snap the wafers back into the slots after you have re-ordered them. Make certain the spring in each slot is still there – it is mandatory in order to drive the wafers. Without the springs in place, the lock will not function properly. Test the wafers by pushing them down with your finger. They should depress into the plug easily and spring back up to their neutral position smoothly when you release pressure. If they are wafers that do not snap in place, release the pressure of your finger slowly to keep them from jumping out of the plug.
