Wallet Key Cut

[losboricua]

Finally had some time to stop by my local locksmith to get my new wallet key cut. She started to look at it and noticed that the blank key that came with the wallet key is wider on the cut surface and tinner that the factory key. I will try to post a picture later.

My question to you guys with the wallet key. Did you had any issues with the blank getting cut ?

Most of us didn't get the key cut due to sizing issues. IIRC, there was one person who found a local locksmith near Buffalo to get it cut correctly, but afaik, that person was the only one.

OK, thanks for the info. Well I think I might get a hide a key box and hide one of the original key without the fob somewhere.

Have a look at this post. You're only a couple (okay maybe a few) hours drive from Buffalo so it might be worth it (unfortunately you'll have to suffer through the New York Thruway, where not only are the tolls high but the law enforcement quotient is too).

4 hour drive. Straight shot through Erie. Can do it in a day!

when you get there ask them if they are willing to do it if the keys are sent via US mail. It may cost more but in order to get this working i'm willing to pay. Better yet how about we send DrNo all our keys and have him be our middle man...

Man, I drove by that area last month to on my way to Canada. I wish I would of gotten the key sooner. Maybe I will get lucky and I would need to travel to our Toronto office again. Good to know that only one side is needed. I might be able to talk to my local locksmith about it and she might be able to shim her machine too.
