Effective until 3/31/24, customers purchasing a Framon #2 Code Machine will receive a $100 gift card they can use to purchase keys or accessories on the Blue Dog Keys website. To receive the gift card, register the machine with Framon (Registration info included with machine) and include a copy of the purchase invoice.
The Framon Depth & Space Manual is the core of the Framon #2. The keys mentioned above are only a portion of those that you will have the capability to cut. The manual contains: Over 900 cylinder key charts, 18 letterbox charts, and 32 safety deposit box charts
The Real Beauty Of The Machine Is It’s Low Cost….. In addition to being less expensive than almost any other code machine, the year-to-year cost of keeping your machine up to date is also lower than any others: zero! Because the #2 utilizes manufacturers’ depths & spaces to originate keys, all you need to do is copy new information into your book (blank pages provided).

Possibly The Most Perfect Code Machine Ever Created……
All of the extras included with the Framon #2 make it a great package. Here are a few of the features that make it a perfect code machine:
Accuracy: All Framon key machines are hand assembled and hand fit. This ensures that before your machine reaches you, it has originated keys accurate to one-half thousandth of an inch (.0005″, about the thickness of a hair). This tolerance assures a perfect key every time!
Straight-In Feed: The #2 utilizes a straight-in feed approach. The straight-in feed of the #2 provides a perpendicular cut at the root of the key. The flat of the cut will always be the same depth from the left side of the cut to the right. Machines that use a pivot approach can produce keys that turn one way but not the other. The drawing at the right shows the profile of a key cut by a machine that pivots. The different shear lines from the left to the right side of the key lead to the turning problem.
Rugged & Durable: The #2 is made from heat treated aluminum and steel. The carriage moves forward on a pair of steel slides. Spacing and depth movements take place on pairs of steel pins and screws. There are no small gears to strip out and no plastic parts to wear out. We’ve heard plenty of stories from code machine owners who have dropped the machine off of their workbench and cut a key with no adjustments needed!

- Customer support is amazing, very rare these days.Review by Keith

I initially had a problem with the calibration. The support person at Framon (Mike) spent over an hour on the phone with me going through all the calibration and set up procedure to finally get things right. 5 stars. Very rare these days to get that kind of assistance. Oh yeah, I guess I should also point out the accuracy of the Fra-2 is without equal. It's intuitive and easy to use. It comes with a code book that contains more codes than any other source. Small, portable and lightweight, I just put it in the service van whenever I need to cut a few keys by code on the job site. You won't be disappointed. (Posted on 9/22/2017)Quality Price Value - Timeless perfection, that you can count on to always be accurate!Review by Robert

Like many, I was torn between Framon's #2 and the other beloved classic. I used a friend's "other" originator quite a few times, and it was not always spot on. Another friend of mine has had his #1 machine for over 30 years, and when I had cut keys on his machine, they always came out right.Quality Price Value
Since I purchased Framon's #2 code machine, I have cut many automotive keys from code, residential and commercial keys, FIC paddle keys, various Y11 and AP2 keys from code, along with many other automotive keys. This machine has not failed me once. Every time I cut a key, it works perfectly.
I do highly recommend purchasing the wider jaw for automotive keys. It will save you a lot of grief from the key tilting in the jaw. (Posted on 5/21/2017) - Great and versatile machineReview by Nathan

I was torn between this machine and the Blitz, but after a lot of thought, I decided to get the Framon #2. I am very pleased with my purchase and have not regretted it for one moment. I found it very intuitive and easy to understand how to cut keys. I was even able to use the accuracy of the machine in making keys for locks I had impressioned by "tweaking" the numbers to account for worn down pins in the lock. Not a problem for padlocks you can re-pin, but for old Yale, Master, etc, that can't be re-pinned, it worked like a charm. It is sturdy and came with an exhaustive book of key codes. Like I said, I really like this machine and am glad I chose it over the Blitz. I have used both now and am convinced that the Framon is more accurate and versatile. Both are good, but for my money, I am glad I went with the Framon. (Posted on 12/11/2014)Price Value Quality
