Duplicate keys

[Skeleton Man]

Hey all,

I just got a new lock for my machine but it only came with one key.. so I was wondering where I would take it to get a copy or two made ?

I don't want to go to a locksmith just to have a simple key cut.. it's a run of the mill tubular lock.. nothing special or complicated..

Chris,
Hardware stores generally will cut keys but you may have better luck at a locksmith.

Well home hardware can't help me, and I doubt Canadian tire can either. Those are the only two hardware stores in this town, and the nearest locksmith is 45 mins away. $20 in gas and 1.5 hrs return drive to get a simple key cut is a little ridiculous.

Just mail it to the locksmith.

yeah... you don't have much a choice. Unless you can get the manufacturer and key code off the lock and try it that way... I think you'd be better off getting another lock with more than one key, or just being really careful with the one key you have.

The Home Depot's down here all cut keys... maybe something like that?

Home Depot is at least a 1 hour drive, so locksmiths are closer. I was expecting the lock to come with two keys but it didn't..
