I only have the original Valet key that turns the ignition. I have a 2nd key (Master) that opens the passenger door (and nothing else) and a 3rd key (Valet) that open the driver door (and nothing else).
From what I can gather, the only difference between the master key and the valet key is the channeling down the side of the key, not the notch/tooth profile. If I'm correct, can I make a copy of the original Valet key to a new Master key? My thought is it's easier to rekey the door locks and I suspect the new Master will then work the trunk and glove box since those were not likely replaced like the door locks were. |

Awesome help guys!
Is there a source for wafers or am I looking to get them from other salvaged tumblers only? |

Nobody has found a source, other than robbing them. I have extras if you wind up needing them. It's hard to just send an assortment, not knowing what you'll need. That's why I suggest doing what you can with what you have, then at least you've narrowed down what you'll need to finish. |
