Re: The Great DeLorean Key Disaster



Where would one mail keys to to have them "cut" by code? What 
necessary info would be needed? I have 2 Deloreans and I am tempting 
fate by only having one working set for each. Have plenty of blanks, 
but every time I try to use a hardware store they cut them with to 
sharpe an edge to the keys and it will not turn in the cylinders. I 
would rather just use my remaining DMC blanks and have them cut by a 
pro. So where would I need to send them along with what information?

Thanks,

Joe O'Brien
