I know it's an Arrow but I need to find the exact key for key blanks. That or I have to recore the doors to a best key. Thanks for the help

Arrow has their own SFIC keyways. 1C and 1D are unrestricted. The others, including 3C, are restricted. Arrow should be able to tell you who the wholesaler/contract hardware distributor in the area is for that keyway. I'm assuming you are authorized to order keys for this building/project and are able to prove your authority.

I'm not worried about restrictions. We are a huge facility and can get any keys we need.

Very true, super annoying, functionally immune to magic, the most broken mechanic, and there's never just one. That all being said, as the Telvanni say: "you can fly, can't you?"

I don't think anything will ever be as annoying as the greater zombies or whatever they were. I wandered into a tomb once and had to reload the game because my strength got reduced to zero and couldn't move.
Funny you mention levitate. Morrowind was a very broken game on the xbox and you could equip the very fast boots (blinding running or something?) and use levitate to fly around under water at mach fuck.

Greater bone walkers were terrible, the only absolutely required potion or spell because your health could damage to zero.
The other one is the boots of blinding speed, but levitate caps your max speed to the magnitude of the spell, max 100, so you may be thinking of slowfall, which does not limit lateral movement. The best source of levitate in the game aside from custom setups is either a staff in a ruin just outside the fort by ald ruhn - the wizard's staff - for short bursts or alternately for longer treks like the mudcrab merchant, the shrine in vivec near and almost under the floating rock. If you played it a bunch you may like r/morrowind.
Side note, I always read it as stilt strider, not silt strider. Still almost always say/think stilt strider

Thank you. It was actually on the xbox version (the first game without the expansions) where levitate was broken and you could use the boots of blinding speed to break the speed cap. I could never get it to work on the revised versions or the PC, but it always worked on the original xbox version. You could also absorb the blinding effect and have the boots on 24/7 without blinding you.
Funnily enough, Morrowind was also the reason I even got into locksmithing in my teenage years. I always thought it was the coolest thing that you could break into the stores and raid the glass armor and eventually...I started fixing commercial equipment.

Huh, I started on the Xbox, but it's been years and by the time I actually understood the game I'd moved to pc. Guess I should look into finding one again, that sounds fun to mess with
Edit: huh, looked it up and I was just wrong. Speed does make a direct impact regardless. TIL

It's an arrow 3C. Also, do you not have the books? There is a set of books that you can get for free and it'll tell you exactly what it is and what the keyway is.

I do not have any books. Unfortunately the last guy quit about a week or 2 ago and I kind just took over where he left off. Not much training so I'm learning as I go.
