A little more for you. If you order one "master kit" that comes with a key and wafers, you get a OEM style key properly cut to work with the new wafers. If you ever need to get a key, you can just give them the code on the master kit and you get a perfect cut anywhere. The problem with used stuff is the keys are worn and the locks don't work that well and no code for the future.
Once the master kit is in hand you just duplicate the wafers and have more keys cut off the original for all the other locks. The valet key is different but the "cut" is identical. You don't have to have a locksmith do any of this it but they can get the parts quickly and pretty cheap. |
