What are the Allegion combinating rules?

LOCKED DOWN TO TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Allegion combinating rules are systems used in cylinder pinning and key cutting to ensure consist, uniform performance.  Here are some of the major elements of combinating rules

  • Pin heights
  • Key cut depths and spacing measurements
  • Maximum Adjacent Cut Specifications - what is the maximum allowable depth difference in two adjacent key cuts?
  • Valid numerical cut values
  • Number of progression steps
  • Valid cylinder types allowed
  • Number of pin chambers allowed 
  • Pin stack requirement (in some interchangeable core combinating rules).  

 

See the Allegion Combinating Rules document for details.
