I would stay out of any hardware store . Go to a bigger town and find
someone that specialises in making keys. I had mine made at a little shop
next to a large shopping center. Have them fit the key to the lock and or
they can change out the pins.. A relitivly simple task. We found a key that
was similar and filed part of the key and one pin filed to fit. now all my
locks work..~(8=)
