1952gary Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Looking for key blanks for my truck. I tried to get a new key today only to find no one carries a blank. The locksmith was able to alter a blank to make an extra key. Works but I would like to find some original. Any one out there have any blanks or knowledge of where to find them?

Warren Nielsen Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I got mine at ANYTIME LOCK AND SAFE in Bremerton WA. I see you are in Bothell so it isn't too far away. Far enough but not out of state. ANYTIME LOCK AND SAFE 5050 Hwy 303 #109 Fred Meyer Plaza Bremerton, WA 98311 360 373-5167 Had 3 or 4 made up and it seems like less than $15 if I remember.

Dodgeb4ya Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) The 2 brass keys are the Hurd type key blanks-studebaker used them too. I think Briggs supplied the other type of key style-the triangle Ignition switch aluminum looking key. The aluminum keys came with my 1952 dodge pickup when I bought it in 1973.

I think Briggs supplied the other type of key style-the triangle Ignition switch aluminum looking key. The other aluminum matching door key is aluminum but has a round open end.

1952gary Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I only had one key for my truck so the purpose was to get some additional keys made. The local Locksmith was unable to match the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoose Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I only had one key for my truck so the purpose was to get some additional keys made. The local Locksmith was unable to match the key. Just try another locksmith, 1st one I walked into had the blanks. If no other locksmiths will yours order the blanks?

Merle Coggins Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I got lucky when I walked into a local locksmith (Bonified Safe and Lock in Brookfield). I also only had one key and it was a duplicate already. Not only did they have a couple of blanks, they had ones with the Chrysler logo on them. However, my luck ran out shortly after that as my fuel pump failed just a few blocks from the locksmith as I was heading home. A passerby helped tow me off the street into a parking lot where I installed my rebuilt spare that was stored under the seat. At least I wasn't stranded with my new keys.

wldavis3 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I got my original Mopar keys from these guys. Then took them and had them duplicated from the key I had. http://www.key-men.com You need to seek out a "mom and pop" key shop. They might have your correct Mopar blanks and can pick a lock and make keys for it if you do not have the key for a lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwilf Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I found these at a local key shop after about 2 hours searching in old boxes they had under the counter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I bought some like that on ebay but they wouldn't work with my ign switch. I wonder if I still have them somewhere. Merle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwilf Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 they fit the door and the ignition on my 53 fargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty O'Toole Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Did you ask the locksmith what blank you need as in part number? Original equipment keys are on Ebay all the time but you need to know which one will fit your locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
