Hi all
Just wondering where I can get a new key cut for my 1992 80 series. I tried toyota at kedron (im in brisbane/ northside) and they said they sell the blanks but dont cut the keys.. :S
so yeah, if anyone can point me in the direction of someone who can do this, and a rough price that would be awesome
p.s. there is no electric component to my key, its just metal and a plastic end
thanks in advance
Nik

ANY locksmith can do it for you- if you have the blank, ANY hardware shop who cuts keys should be able to do it

Try Northside Lcoksmiths if you are in kedron, they are in boothby st just off Gympie Road. Or go inbound a bit more to J Larsen or H A Reed.
Any good locksmith should have the key in stock. If it is a mill key some smaller shop key cutters may not have a milling machine to do it. Best bet is a locksmith.

Been a locksmith myself for 20 odd years i would recomend all keys should be cut at a reputable locksmith, keep away from most key cutters. And if the key is worn ask them to decode it and cut it to code if you cant supply the key code.
