Duplicate Keys...

**WILMASBOYL78** · #1 06-12-2016, 07:22 PM

I'm looking to get some extra keys made for some of the cars...doubt we have any key numbers to reference. What is the best source for Chevy keys 68-70 vintage??

I have the GM (B&S) blanks correct for 69 up. Give me the letter codes on your keys and I can send you the blanks.
Or you can take your keys to a lock pro and he can give you your codes by measuring the cuts.
With the letter codes and the cut info I can cut the keys. I have the cutter from a GM dealer.
The latter style blanks will work to replace the pear and hex style but are incorrect in appearance.
The early blanks can be purchased at HBC and The Parts Place Inc by letter code.

OK..I looked at the keys and found the letter codes...if I get the correct blanks from you can a local lock person cut them here using the originals as the pattern?? It appears most of the keys have a "J" or "K"...also "D" and "C"...and even an "E" and "H"...some of our keys are very worn.

thanks for the input..

....and therein lies a potential problem. When buying the 'alleged' NOS blanks off eBay or wherever (buyer beware) and then taking them to your local hardware store, cutting "new" keys off worn existing ones, you may or may not get the new ones to work. BTDT.

It's more work, but I pulled a door lock cylinder out of the door and got the code for that (for doors and ignition key). Then I pulled the trunk lock cylinder out and got the code off of that (for trunk and glove box). Sent the codes to Jesser's and got keys that work flawlessly.

they are easy to get on ebay also..not hard to get..NOS are cheap and easy to get.

J & K is for a 70

E & H are for a 69
