Yale 8
on Keyzee.

Yale 8-series is a 5-pin keyway present across AU, UK and parts of Asia, mostly on residential and light-commercial deadlocks. Forgiving MACS and wide blank availability make it a reasonable target for budget MK on multi-unit residential.

What Keyzee does for Yale 8

Yale 8 is a first-class profile in the engine — the same TMK optimiser, phantom scan, MACS validation and export pipeline runs against Yale 8 cylinders as against any other. No add-on, no separate licence.

Factory MACS + depth specs shipped

Yale 8's MACS, increment table, and pin-stack constraints are built in. Every TMK candidate is validated before grading.

Phantom scan, exhaustive

Up to 50,000 shear-line combos per Yale 8 cylinder, run against the full access matrix. Critical / high / medium classified inline.

Code-machine exports

Yale 8 cuts ship as InstaCode (.ick), Genericode (.gcd), Silca KD (.skd), CSV and PDF — directly into Silca Futura, HPC CodeMax or Framon.

Restricted-keyway handover

Every Yale 8 system exports a compliance handover record — system ID, signatories, your locksmith licence, full key register, customer signature block.
