SOLUTION: According to the mechanism, a shaft is attached to a driver pin of a cylinder, for identifying each duplicate key by a cylinder accommodating the duplicate key therein, and the shaft is protruded from the cylinder, followed by obtaining the location and protruding length of the shaft. In this manner the respective duplicate keys are discriminated from each other. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
