I have a number of the hockey teams but sometimes it is difficult to get other sports team keys. The distributors in Canada either won't bring them up due to limited demand or there might be licencing issues with getting them into Canada. Consumer demand can be a fickle thing and which can drive "pl...

Dale, How do you display your Klinky, Sports and other specialty/painted keys for people to look at? Or do you have a catalog of keys that people can look through and ask to see specific keys that you might have or to order? You showed off your key cart and there is not a lot of space on there to di...

I'll have to put everything into a single directory and see how it all works together. Thanks. Sorry for outing your secret, but it appears to be quite useful, especially for someone doing keys of course. OK, so using the keys on the Sargent page as an example, and the choice of some of the keys are...

I saw it earlier but I wasn't sure if it was for this site or if something else because I keep seeing the keyhut.com/.. stuff.

Can you guess where I saw it from? :D

Dale, So cool, an add-on for your POS. In reading through the forums and instructions, I didn't see anything about it mentioned, not even in the instructions in the KEYFIND program. Perhaps others can come up with other ideas to add into the POS, or maybe instead of KEYFIND it could be modified to s...

Keyfind

Dale, SWEEEEET! Nice program for finding keys. I will ASSume that this is your creation. Very nice and definitely useful. If I wanted to add in ILCO or other keys from the books I have that are missing or newly created, what would be the best way of doing so to keep a semblance of order in key infor...

Dale, I'm learning a lot from you about keys. I'm still a noob when it comes to keys but I'm learning more every day. Sorry for so many questions. Thanks for the E-Z key program. Will have a look at it shortly. I wasn't aware of it or that I could create my own E-Z key numbering. I know that ILCO bo...

What keys sell for you

Dale, Off topic on the POS, but just wondering: What are your best/better selling keys? Do you program the transponder keys or just do straight cutting? Do you code cut? For us, we cut more Schlage (SC1) and Weiser (WR5/WR3) than anything else for our customers. Kwikset (KW1 mostly, but some KW10). ...

Wives are like that....

The difference between men and women.... javascript:emoticon(':P') No worries on reply time. I'm up to my butt in packages to be shipped out of here so I know how it goes. I'm still experimenting and seeing what works, doing ideas and making plans for the new year for the POS. A day or a week at pre...

Thanks for the reply Dale. I don't want to stock every key as it is too costly and would take up too much space and time trying to keep the keys organized. However, I do want to keep the most common, the most wanted keys that will sell well. I'm willing to bring in special keys if there is a demand ...

Vendor Number Questions regarding key part numbers

Thanks for the comments Dale, they are very much appreciated. You obviously have a lot of experience in what you do, both key cutting and in doing the POS. I especially enjoyed looking at the Key Hut information and pictures. Ideas on how to display and store the wide variety of key equipment can be...

Additional Key Blank

Dale, As you know, there are no UPC numbers on the keys, but there are some carded keys with UPC numbers. I can get the UPC numbers for the various ILCO keys but would have no UPC for some of the keys. Printing UPC labels seems wasteful and then you have the glue residue on the key to get rid of. Us...

Key Blank Setup

Dale, Have been looking through the forums here the last few days and have a question about setting up key blanks in DHPOS. I run a Mail and Parcel Centre with a key cutter and am wondering how you would set up DHPOS to keep track of the various standard and specialty key blanks, seeing as how you w...
