I have a '72 914 and would like to have a second set of keys made. I purchased blanks but am having a really difficult time finding anyone who can cut them. I contacted all of the local Porsche dealers but was told the only do more modern cars. Does anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate any info!

Find a local locksmith. They usually have the older machines that will cut the classic style keys.

Find a local locksmith. They usually have the older machines that will cut the classic style keys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Most hardware stores have auto cutting machines and don't work well with our 914 keys. See if you can find an actual locksmith with an old-school machine. |

Agree with the local suggestions. Find a shop that's been around since the 60s, and they will probably have the proper machine. If you can't find one, I'll do it. $20 for the pair. One day turn around.

I think you’ll find one black key and one red key a mystery with most key cutters. Use a flat rate envelope for shipping out and the same one for the trip home. Way way faster. Days rather than potentially weeks and you get tracking numbers.

A little south of Seattle, but Milo's Locksmith in Puyallup has made keys for a few of my classics including 914's. Been a few years now, but at least worth a call if you're interested.
