Key Copying

[MikeWooldridge]

"Taylor" is the brand...B 80 NR is the number. Got mine at a local locksmith off the shelf.

Google search gave me this: http://www.jetkeys.com/proddetail.php?prod=BMW1-NP

Jet makes Taylor keys.

In Denver, I just go to a professional locksmith. He took one look at the key and said sure! The hardware stores are only set up for the garden variety jobs.

order the 2 blanks on the right (ignition and trunk)

from any BMW Dealer - and if your dealer is

an old timer - he/she may even have the old key-cutting

machine still set-up in the parts dept. Otherwise

take your BMW blanks to any GOOD Lock Smith

for cutting - not pathmark, walgreens, homedepot please

Don't get carried away with the 'folding' keys

= N.L.A. unless your riding a BMW bike

and while your at the dealer - order a Moboil Tradition

02 key fob

Happy New Year

Try this place:

They can supply and cut your keys using the original codes for the locks.

If you are lucky and still have the original owners manual with the key codes in the front or your ignition & door locks still have the small sticker with a code on it (4 digits IIRC). Then you just email them and hey presto new keys that are better than a duplicate, they are cut from the factory codes. I had a set done and they are perfect.

The original key has the code stamped in it as well.

... I got carried away.

Is the black topped key in the picture that C.D. Posted avaiiable for the 2002?

And is it a folding key?

That's the key I want.....

be aware there are 2 styles of trunk key blanks. i had 3 ignitions made for mine and once the guy pulled out the old school machine they no longer used he was able to duplicate 3 keys perfectly.

Sweet hopefully I will have the same luck.

to an ILCO number (Taylor isn't around any more)--my local locksmith has blanks in stock.

Ign keys aren't nearly as much trouble as the early locking gas cap keys!

These guys are in NY and have a great offering of BMW keys. The BMW1 and the 63Y should be what you need. Check your code series the ignition could also be a HF18. They can also cut based on the key code if you have it. Just don't use some one else's code please......

Success!!! I found an old hardware store not to far away from the house and he was able to make two copies for me.

Turns out that keys from a 71 vw will work, but he had to trim the ends down a bit, but an overall success.

Excellent....

I was gonn say, I ordered 2 "real" blanks, and no locksmith wanted to cut them for me either, said it was made of somethign too hard that would damage their cutting machine.

But they had a similar key made of a softer metal I guess that they cut for me ! Works a treat. And I have 2 useless real BMW key blanks now ! well, not useless, they are nice for cleaning your nails in a pinch ;-)

Thanks for the info. Now I love my VW even more.

FWIW: My tii ignition/door key is a "DL", trunk key is "Huf"

Both my original VW Bug ignition key is "Huf" along with my newer door keys.

I searched for an article on this because I had one 02 key. I went to the closest lock and alarm store in town and they duplicated my 02 key and two motorcycle keys no problem. $1.75 each.

If you ever get out to Athens, there is a place here on Atlanta Highway by the name of Clarke County Lock & Key that has cut several for me (door and trunk). I bought blanks on Ebay but when I took them in to be cut he said I didn't need to do that because he had the blanks as well.
