New keys

[DanThe]

Got a phone call from my local dealers telling me they cant supply "cut" keys anymore as the dealership that had the machine Rydale Warley Birmingham dont have it anymore

He also told me the only type of key they can get is the standard black, I wanted one with a torch,

Anyone tried to get a key lately? Wondering if its like this all over the country?

[stuartgallafant]

not lately, but i do have a box of spare keys (with batteries) and lock barrels that can be made up!

i could ask my dealership if they still do them
