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?
