    Lucky you not needing new keys. Compared to the unchipped key i had made, my original is junk.

    Yet another update... Got 2 oem blanks on ebay delivered today. Figured I'd go to a hardware store and get them cut by hand. One store said $40. each. He sold and cloned keys....ok. there might be steel in those blanks that'll wreck a $100. cutting wheel....yadayadayada...
    Went to the other hardware store another 1/4 mile down the road, ya sure, no problem. $2.50 for an un chipped key. Thank you very much!
    Just waiting on the programmer now...

    Going to a hardware store to get keys cut is like going to a butcher for brain surgery.

    My local hardware store has cut many keys for me. Every one has worked perfectly. A buck a key.

    I have 1 locksmith guy I go to for everything. He's rekeyed locks for me, fixed gummed up or damaged locks, changed safe combos, and cut many keys for me. He set up my business and home deadbolts so that my key opens my business and home, but me secretaries key only opens the business.
