Thank you for purchasing the AccuReader
wafer reading system by LockTech. This system will
allow you to read spaces 1-6 in the Ford 10 cut door
locks. Following a few simple steps it takes only
minutes to read the depths for each cut in each
position of a given lock.
The AccuReader works on the process of
elimination to decipher the correct depths of the lock.
By checking the deepest cut first you eliminate what
the cuts are not. Therefore it is essential to always
read depth slide #5 first.
The Ford10 AccuReader comes with a set of
slides #2-5. Also supplied are two AccuReader keys,
one is for reading spacing 6-4 and one is for reading
3-1. Within the lock there is a warding the key slides
on. Once the key is pulled out a certain distance the
key can shift off of this warding and give improper
readings. Therefore, it is important to use the correct
key for the correct spacing.
ALWAYS start by thoroughly flushing the
lock and run a key blank in and out several times
to exercise the wafers. Ford locks are notorious
for hardened grease. It is important to
thoroughly flush these locks.
USING THE ACCU-READER
Insert the 6-4 AccuReader key all the way
into the lock using the insertion/release tool. Remove
the insertion/release tool and pull outward on the key
until it traps a wafer. The number that is just outside
the lock face will indicate which position you have
trapped.
Always start reading with the #5 depth slide
tool, then proceed to #4, #3, & #2 in order, ((if
necessary.))
Using the Ford10 #5 depth slide, fully insert it
into the AccuReader key. The alignment mark on the
depth slide will line up with the (Y) Yes mark or it will
line up with the (N)No mark.
If the #5 depth slide lines up with the Ythen
the depth for that position is a 5. If the depth slide
lines up with a N, then you must proceed to the #4
depth slide.
If the #4 depth slide lines up with the Ythen
the depth for that position is a 4. If the depth slide
lines up with a N, then you must proceed to the #3
depth slide.
If the #3 depth slide lines up with the Ythen
the depth for that position is a 3. If the depth slide
lines up with a N, then you must proceed to the #2
depth slide.
If the #2 depth slide lines up with the Ythen
the depth for that position is a 2. If the depth slide
lines up with a N, then the depth for that position is a
1.
Once you have read positions in 6-4 remove
the key and fully insert the 3-1 AccuReader key and
trap a wafer in the same manner as just described.
Once the lock is completely read, these cuts can be
used with a Ford 10 Ignition tryout set to decode the
ignition for a complete key.

TIPS& SUGGESTIONS
Always clean the keyway thoroughly before starting.
While keeping the AccuReader straight in the lock with one hand, use your other hand to insert the depth slide with
a very slight upward pressure on the slide itself. This will ensure the tip of the slide is traveling along the bottom of
the track as intended.
Always start with the deepest possible depth slide and always stop and move to the next position as soon as a
“YES” reading is taken. You only progress to shallower depth slides (in order) when a “NO” reading is taken.
