The lesson to be learned here is....
The big national chain stores - auto and home improvement - are geared towards volume and fast turnover. They basically care nothing about the customer, only the corporate bottom line.
I too found my duplicate keys at a local, old-time locksmith. He just looked at the keys, and then pulled out a drawer, grabbed the blanks and cut them.
He even had a blank for the supposedly order-only-from-us Grant removable steering wheel lock.
Support your small local businesses - or soon the old Road Runner cartoon joke of everything coming from 'Acme' will be our reality.

Agreed. That IS the lesson. I guess I've gotten so numb and dumb with the "big box MUST have it or it doesn't exist" thinking. Plus, the mom and pop guys, disorganized as they were, gave super service and were actually pleasant.
So, if everyone's got a 'source' they can use locally, that's cool too.

Hudson,
Can you buy/sell me 2. I need them to go to Jim Cozzolino's workshop in Peoria. How do we do the payment?
Mail me at michel.vereeken@skynet.be
If you have PayPal can do it right now. Send the total to adams@hudsonink DOT com. (Of course the 'DOT' is a (.) I'm just trying to avoid spam.) Otherwise, it'd be $20 worth of trouble for a $10 problem, so if you do NOT have PayPal, I'll just send 'em to Coz and you owe me a Trappist Beer at some point in our Pantera future.
