I've successfully lost both keys to my Porsche. Can a locksmith make a key from one of the cylinders, that I so luckily already have out? If so, abouts how much does it run?
They should be able to.
Um, yes. I know I had them make two for a hard bed cover I bought. It didn't take him five minutes.

He shouldn't call himself a locksmith if he can't make you a new one!

My kids like me!
Yes, the tumblers inside the lock cylinder are numbered, and that's what they go by to make the key.

I had had some locks for a ski rack setup that I bought but no key. So I took one of the lock cylinders to a locksmith and had a key made for it (all of the locks are the same). It was pretty nifty, but I don't remember exactly how he did it. I think on those locks the pins on the lock would be visible on the outside of the cylinder when the correct key was inserted so that the whole lock would turn when inserted on the ski rack.

Oh god, I think I'm losing it.
I know that for a while CAA and AAA would do that for you if you had their service and lost your only key.

Yes! Absolutely!

They sure can... Locksmiths scare me in a way... We had one come an unlock our front door... Just your run-of-the-mill Shillage or whatever deadbolt. Took the guy about 3 seconds to pick it. Then he starts looking flustered... puts the tools back in the lock, fiddles for a second, and asks to see the key. So we go get the key, and he sits and looks at it for a few seconds. Then he confesses that the lock was very, very hard to pick, and he wanted to see the key so he could figure out why. I guess it was just a strange cut... But a very, very hard lock to pick takes 3 seconds?

It is not that scary in that anyone who can do that can make a better living more safely as a locksmith than as a common thief (who typically seeks easy ways in like unlocked doors and windows, kicking in doors, breaking windows, etc.).
Now, if you are hiding things of extreme value behind your locked doors, you might attract the attention of the rare professional thief (e.g. the kind that steals rare paintings, one of a kind gems, top secret government or commercial information, etc.). But if you have that, you probably have much more elaborate security than an ordinary locked door.

yes.had to get one made when someone jacked my keys at the beach. they took my keys but when they found out what car it was for i think they decided to cut their losses. was a 1st gen crx with both front fenders completely rotted away. basically really a beat ass car.

damn did you kill 20 people or was that from 1 person?

mk4, not easy, MK3 just send me your lock code from a door handle
just FYI for some other people who might care. with some manufacturers, you can get a key made off of your VIN# at the dealer. of course, you have to show them proof that you own the vehicle before they just make you a key for the VIN# you provide....

I understand your confusion. I think he meant .02 stacks though.
I know this is resolved, but this is a good little page on the topic to print and stick away in your binders...
