Frequently Asked Questions:
Does the Black Widow require an Internet connection?
Yes, if you need to convert a key code to cuts or do some progressioning. But all other features can be performed just fine without a connection to the Internet.Does the Black Widow use tools to change parts?Jaws can be swapped without any tools—just loosen the thumb screw and slide the jaws in and out. Like all other key machines, the included Allen wrench is needed to remove and insert cutters and tracers. Good thing there's a great tool storage compartment so you don't even need to worry about losing it!Can cutting keys using a wireless connection cause problems?The Black Widow has been equipped with Bluetooth version 5, an extremely fast and reliable method of communication for devices like these that need to pass data back and forth. Things happen, though, like your phone dying or walking out of range to use the bathroom while the key is still cutting. Rest assured that the Black Widow doesn't start cutting until it has the info it needs to finish. If it ever loses its data connection with your mobile device during cutting, your key will be undamaged, and in most cases, the machine will complete its cutting process.Is it easy to see the key while the Black Widow is cutting?Definitely yes! The Black Widow has a clear, untinted cutting shield and bright LED lights that continuously follow the cutting field as the machine does its work. Please note that, like a pair of expensive glasses, if you put them face down on your table, it will become scratched. Please use the shield mount that comes included with your machine.Does the Black Widow have an integrated battery?No, it does not. We have discovered that machines like the Dolphin or Dolphin II by XHorse that have built-in batteries will stop working completely when the battery dies, even if the machine is plugged into a power outlet. For this reason, the battery for the Black Widow is an inexpensive external accessory.How do I get support?Technical support is provided by Lock Labs. Please call their tech support line at 888-816-1046.How long is the warranty?
The Black Widow comes with a 2-year warranty for parts and labor. Repairs are performed in the US. Can the Black Widow engrave?Sorry, no, it can't. You would need the Triton key machine if that feature is important to you. Can the Black Widow cut the new Honda steel keys?Yes
, it does a great job cutting and decoding those keys! Unlike our competitors, you don't need to spend over $500 on additional accessories.
