Keyline™ at Keyfirst: key cutting machines and programming solutions

Founded in Italy by the Bianchi family, Keyline™ has become a world reference in professional key duplication and cutting. Decades of constant innovation and manufacturing quality recognised across the sector have made the brand the go-to choice for locksmiths, hardware stores, garages and specialist key cutting centres in over 100 countries. The Liger™ software, developed in-house by Keyline™, runs through the entire range: a unified interface, regularly updated, that guides the technician from vehicle selection through to handing the cut key back to the customer.

Keyfirst is the official Keyline™ distributor in France, with English-speaking support for our UK and international customers. All Keyline™ machines are delivered with a 2-year warranty and shipped from French stock with delivery in 24 to 48 hours. The Keyline™ range at Keyfirst covers ten product families: manual machines, electronic automotive machines, OBD key programming machines, transponder cloners, special keys and double-bitted keys, building key profile readers, vices, tracers and accessories, Keyline™ transponders and updates, tokens and subscriptions.

Keyline™ manual machines: BI106 Carat-BD, T-Rex Plus and Easy

The Keyline™ manual machines are the entry and mid-range line, ideal for workshops that primarily handle flat, double-sided, micropoint and wave keys at high volume. The Keyline™ BI106 Carat-BD is the best-selling manual machine at Keyfirst: supplied with a Bricard™ vice, it cuts flat keys, vehicle keys and cross keys with exceptional mechanical precision. The Keyline™ T-Rex Plus extends coverage to laser, micropoint and tubular profiles. The Keyline™ Easy is the compact solution for flat and automotive keys, suited to moderate volumes. The Keyline™ T-Rex completes the family with laser, micropoint and tubular coverage in the standard version.

Keyline™ electronic machines: Ninja Vortex, Ninja Dark and Messenger

The Keyline™ electronic machines are the top of the range for automated cutting of double-sided and wave automotive keys. The Keyline™ Ninja Vortex is the flagship of the Ninja series: it cuts, decodes, codes and engraves high-security laser and micropoint key heads in a single operation. The entire process is guided by Liger™ software, which integrates an extensive database of profiles and vehicles that is constantly updated. The Keyline™ Ninja Dark is the automatic version dedicated to flat, vehicle and cross keys with optimal cutting speed and repeatability for high-throughput workshops.

The Keyline™ Messenger without battery and the Keyline™ Messenger with battery are portable electronic machines combining the power of desktop machines with the mobility that mobile locksmiths need. The battery version allows working on-site at the customer's premises with no mains supply. Both models cover automotive and building keys from a single transportable machine.

STAK|KEYLINE™ by Abrites™: OBD automotive key programming

The OBD automotive key programming range in the Keyline™ line-up is represented by the STAK|KEYLINE™ by Abrites™ ecosystem, developed in partnership between Keyline™ and Abrites™. This is the flagship solution for programming remotes and keys directly via the vehicle's OBD2 socket, with no component removal. The STAK KIT™ KEYLINE™ is the complete starter configuration: pre-configured Windows tablet with Keyline™ Cloning Tool software, STAK unit, Toyota™/FCA™/Renault™ cables, universal MAVIK remote, key blanks and hard case. The reinforced Windows 10 tablet and the programming dongle/connector are available separately. The Mercedes™ vehicle emulator (reference OPZ11711B) extends STAK coverage to Mercedes™ systems.

Keyline™ transponder cloners: 884 Decryptor and TKM Xtreme

The Keyline™ transponder cloners allow automotive and motorcycle transponders to be duplicated without OBD access, by direct chip cloning. The 884 Decryptor Ultegra is the top-of-the-range Keyline™ transponder cloning machine: it clones automotive and motorcycle transponders with very broad compatibility, including advanced encrypted chips. The TKM Xtreme Kit is the compatible transponder kit for the 884 Decryptor/Mini, covering the most common formats in the world fleet.

Vices, tracers, Liger™ software and Keyline™ consumables

The Keyline™ accessories ecosystem covers all the vices, tracers, cutters and consumables needed to maintain and optimise machines. The KL T08 (Gymkana) and KL T00 (calibration) tracers, along with the HSS HP034, HM WP034, V037 and V012 cutters are the most commonly used references at Keyfirst for Versa, Ninja Vortex and Gymkana models. Keyline™ vices (notably the H Ford vice for Versa/Ninja Vortex/Gymkana) guarantee proper key retention during cutting and directly contribute to result precision. The building key profile readers allow precise identification and recording of the most complex building key profiles directly from the machine.

Liger™ software is the centralised management system that drives all Keyline™ electronic machines. It integrates a complete database of building and automotive key profiles, an internet update system and access to advanced functions (decoding, coding, engraving). Liger™ updates, tokens and subscriptions are available at Keyfirst to keep machines permanently up to date. Keyline™ transponders complete the catalogue for workshops using the 884 Decryptor cloner.
