If that's the case, pull the cylinder from the door and take it and your ignition key to the lock smith and have him rework it so they work together. He will also clean and lube if for you too,

He has original keys. He advertize's in the VCCA magazine. If you do need to contact him let me know and I'll round up his address/number. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | I took the special, "Authentic GM" key blanks I ordered from JC to the local locksmith so I would have a couple of extras and he said he had the same ones on the rack if I ever need more. He also said that all he needed was to see the lock cylinder to cut the new keys.

He made me a new set of keys from that code. | | |
