Here’s a concise write-up for replacing a lost or damaged key for an Ultra HD Seville Classics 806 security cabinet (often a safe or lockbox):
Product Overview
- Item: Replacement Tubular Cam Lock Key
- Compatibility: Seville Classics UltraHD & UltraGraphite Series (specifically fits Model 806 rolling carts, cabinets, and workbenches using the round tubular lock mechanism).
- Material: Zinc alloy / Steel plating.

3. The "Hot" Designation
This is the crucial part. In lock manufacturing jargon, "Hot" refers to a high-security key blank. Unlike standard flat keys that can be cut by any hardware store, a "Hot" key (often marketed as "High Security" or "Disc Detainer") requires specialized equipment. In Seville Classics’ context:
- Standard keys (Cold): Simple pin tumbler keys. Cheap and easy to duplicate.
- Hot keys (806 Hot): Disc detainer or high-security pin tumbler with a unique sidewinder or dimple pattern. These are significantly harder to pick and require ordering via serial number or locksmith authorization.
If your original key says "806 HOT" on the bow (the plastic head), you cannot use a standard #806 replacement. You need the exact "Hot" blank.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a standard #806 key in an 806 Hot lock? A: Absolutely not. The "Hot" lock has a different internal sidebar mechanism. A standard #806 key will insert but will not turn, and forcing it will jam the lock permanently. ultra hd seville classics replacement key 806 hot
Q: My key says "806 Hot" but my cabinet is not "Ultra HD." Will it still work? A: Possibly. Seville Classics also used 806 Hot locks on their "Ultra" (non-HD) and "Workbench" series from the same era. Check the lock face for "806" – that is the only real requirement.
Q: Why is the replacement key so expensive? A: The "Hot" blank is milled from solid nickel-silver rod (not stamped sheet metal). The cutting requires a CNC machine, not a manual grinder. You are paying for security and precision, not just a piece of metal.
Q: I lost the key and the code. Is there a serial number on the cabinet? A: Yes. Open the top drawer fully and look at the left or right inner wall. There is a white sticker that says "Model No." and a 12-digit "Batch Code." Provide this to Seville Classics support; they can look up the original key code.

Option B: Impressioning (Professional Only)
A high-end locksmith can "impression" a new 806 Hot key using a blank piece of soft metal. This takes 30-60 minutes and costs $50-$75. Only worth it for vintage, irreplaceable cabinets.
