I would echo Bill's comments, My local general purpose lock shop still has
original Union or Wilmot Breeden or whatever blanks, if you have a shop that
has been around a while you may be able to have your key work done locally.
Nothing at all against the specialist mail order folks, whom I have done
plenty of business with, but I get a kick out of finding specialized parts
and services for my Healey locally on the rare occasion that I can.
