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. |

I recently had an extra key made for my 1975 914 and the locksmith didn't have any blanks for Porsche but found that a blank for older VW is the same.
