Sidewinder and laser cut car Keys

A key that moves sliders is known as a sidewinder truck key or laser cut key. These keys are easily recognizable for the snake-like path that is cut into the sides of the blade. In almost all cases, this pattern will appear on both sides of the key so that it can be inserted into the truck lock two different ways.

Similar to wafer locks, these paths are used to elevate or depress the internal components of the lock. The sliders in the lock ride along the path that is cut into the truck key, and when the sidewinder key is fully inserted, all of the sliders should be at their appropriate height. Unlike the sheer lines in a truck wafer lock, the slider truck lock will have different gates.

Each slider needs to be fitted into a gate so that they will be out of the way and allow the lock can turn freely. This means that the deepest gate will always be the true gate. For security, multiple unnecessary gates are added to the truck lock. These are known as false gates and do not provide the adequate depth to have the slider leave the lock unobstructed.

If there are no false gates in the lock, these devices will be incredibly easy to pick or rake open. This should not be a concern to most truck owners because very few criminals pick locks, and an even fewer number of car thieves pick truck locks. In addition to this, most laser keys act only as a backup. They are the key of choice for most smart key systems, and will not start the truck without the fob present. Often these sidewinder keys will be hidden within the truck fob, and slide out when a button on the fob is depressed. Once this button is pressed, the laser key can be pulled free. Remember to put this key back in the slot until it clicks and locks into place. If your truck key replacement requires a laser key to be cut, this is no issue. All it requires is a laser key cutter. Lock Surgeon can cut that truck key, and get you back to feeling safe knowing that you will always have access to your truck.
