"XX2247" is a "CODE NUMBER". Notice that it is SIX digits, two of
which are 'X's. (which is NOT normally a cut number). The digits

identify a given code, NOT give you the depths.
Old Fred, I can always be wrong, but the XX2247 is the depth of
cut for the 6 slots of the key. X means no cut and 2247 are the
depths for the 4 cuts on the key. Someone with an original key can
confirm if there is a sequence of two non-cuts, two equal cuts and
two different cuts on the key?
These are definitely not the depths of the cuts. I looked at a key
earlier, and there are more cuts, and they don't seem to match up to
what XX2247 would suggest.
