Hey guys,

Forgive me if this is stupid but...

Need to get a copy of my keys made...Is this an Ace Hardware job? Do I need to source blanks before hand or are they avail at local hardware stores?

Thanks! -Rob

A skilled locksmith can 'read' the ignition itself. They use a blank of very soft material that leaves witness marks when turned in the ignition. I watched when a mobile locksmith was at my house after the 914 was stolen. It came home without the key. When I had the Subaru I gave up on the hardware store after 3 tries because they could not cut a key that worked. First time I didn't check it before I went home. 2nd and 3rd times I tried the new key(s. New blank every time) in the parking lot. Surrendered and went to a locksmith. It took about 15 minutes to get a couple of functional keys.
