摘要

A key locating attachment for controlling the depth of penetration of a key into a lock. This attachment is engaged with the key and a portion thereof engages the face of the lock when the key is placed therein to align the complemental parts of the key and the lock to actuate the same. The attachment is adjustably fixed to the key in order to permit adjustment thereof to compensate for wear on the bearing surfaces of the lock and key which would otherwise cause misalignment of the interengaging parts of the key and the lock.
