Listers:
I want to post to the list an excellent experience I had with a vendor.
When I took delivery of my '76 recently, I found that I had only 1 ignition
key and no keys for the doors, glove box, or trunk. I posted this problem
and one member wrote back that I should try BritishCarKeys.com. I checked out
the website and spoke via telephone with Pete Groh, the owner. He described
the process of sending me 2 large keyrings with every possible key for my
car, as well as the correct blanks so that I could duplicate my ignition key
and
get 2 keys made for each of the other keys from the ring that fit the other
locks on my car.
I got the rings promptly, with complete materials to return them ASAP. I
was able to find keys that opened my doors and trunk. I made 2 copies of each
plus a copy of the ignition key at the hardware store using Pete's blanks. I
then called Pete and told him that none of his keys opened my glove box. He
suggested some lubricant in the lock and another try. I did this, and one
of the keys from the ring opened it right up. I got 2 copies of that one made
and returned the keys in his packaging.
The whole thing couldn't have been easier, and Pete was a pleasure to work
with. There was something really unsatisfying about replacing all those lock
cylinders or paying a locksmith to take them apart and make keys when I could
find the correct keys using Pete's method.
No affiliation; just a satisfied customer.
