Key Cutting?
 

Buddy of mine lost the key to his trunk and asked me if its possible to get a key made for it. I have no idea if thats possible. What would somebody do in this situation? im sure its somewhat common..

Take ignation to locksmith?

yeah if you take the lock to a locksmith they should be able to do it. I dissasembled a lock once and brought it to a good locksmith. Since it was apart he was able to see the slides and make a key for it.

There are certain locksmiths that will come to you to make a key as well.

As far as cost might run about 75$?? sound right i think?

you probably have to get one to come to you in this case. If he cant open the trunk, it's kinda hard to dismantle the lock to take to a locksmith. Unless its a newer car with trunk release button, in which case a trunk key is pointless. I've never once opened my trunk with a key. lol

If the car isn't a million years old he should be able to go to the dealer and get the key code for it and cut him a key from that.

Definately depends on the car and type of key. I had to get a key cut for my 02 Subaru... cost me 8 bucks at the dealership... however my key does not have any 'security' built into it. I think for those types of keys its anywhere from 25, 50, 75 bucks depending on brand of car.

im a locksmith, what kind of car are we talking about here...yr/make/model

depending on what year and make i should be able to cut you one by vin # no need to break or tear **** apart ... but sounds old if it doesnt have a latch or power button ?
