Spare Keys

Post by Faceplant »

Hi All,

Been looking for spare key for my new minor 1000, its a '57 so i need one of the early keys.

I ordered one from Bull Motif, but they dont have any stock left, did a search on google, but didnt find an alternative supplier.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Take your original key to a locksmith or a high street place (Timpsons or similar) and ask them to cut a new one. If it is a minor lock then generally they are so worn even a close match will fit so keep an eye out at Autojumbles. I can start mine with my office cupboard key - not good but it has come in handy now & again. :D

If you go to a proper locksmith then as long as they have the correct blank then they can usually enter the key no. on their cutter and cut a key to the original pattern, rather than copying the worn key.
