Missing key

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a key made for my lockset without the original key or the code that goes with it? Just wondering before i spend on a new set of locks.

Cheers.

Ye mate you should be able to. I've done it before loads of times.

Any suggestions for companies that might do it?

Cheers

Be careful when you do because I got a GS500E key cut at Timpsons and basically the keys they use are thin at the top, whereas my originals had a 'notch' that stopped the key pushing in up to the base, so I have to 'back it out' by about 2mm whenever I start the bike.

Doesn't sound too bad you say?

It makes putting the steering lock on a right PITA, I have to hold down the barrel with my finger and then back the key out with my other hand Sad

Have you tried emailing the manufacturer and seeing if they can give you the code from the frame number? (Doubt it)

I'd personally stay away from Timpsons. I got a spare key cut there and it just won't work.

I always get mine done by...

www.express-keys.co.uk

They will cut keys from number, from a spare, from a lock or via a photocopy of the key! Very Happy
