Getting Keys cut based on a door lock code
The adventure continues! I am replacing my door panels in the 64 with some leather Al Knoch door cards, and at the same time I was going to change out the door locks because the key only works the ignition. After reading through threads, just getting a key cut for the original lock now seems like a better idea.
My problem is finding someone who can actually cut these keys. I have ordered 3 blanks from ZIP that will be here early next week. I called the local ACE, and they can only copy old keys, not create one from a code. I have looked online, but I am not finding anyone who will cut these old keys from just the key code. There is a local mobile locksmith who may do it, but there is a $60 Service call fee just to show up. My question is, is there an online place to order keys with just the key codes? If not, where have you found luck getting a key cut from just the key codes?
Thank you in advance! I was so excited when I found this number, I prefer leaving things that are not broken in place where I can. I do have new locks but that also risks scratching the paint getting the old ones in and out.

You don't have any "brick and mortar" locksmiths near near? GM dealers use to be able to do it, but I think their system only goes back 10 years now. Try Jesser's Classic Keys in Ohio, he can do it but I've found he's not always the most pleasant person to deal with.

The local Corviar junk yard to me that restores Corviars has the old key cutting machine for the local Chevy dealer in town. And they will cut the keys at a very reasonable fee.

I had lost my keys & got the code off the door locks & just ordered one online. I then bought more blanks from Zip & had extras made. I do not recall the site, but it is an easy google search to find one.

Believe it or not I had keys cut AND blanks supplied by my Chevy dealer in Allentown Pa. These we for a 69 Camaro but maybe your local dealer can still do it also. This was just in 2021.

I've ordered 2 sets of cut to code keys from this eBay seller and they worked great.

BTW, you may want to go back to your original message and delete the codes. Anyone who knows where you garage the car can have a key made to steal it.
