Cutting a spare key

[ceprice]

Just bought our first Delica yesterday from 5 Star Motors in Parksville! A '93 Super Exceed (yet to be named). I went to get a spare key made today and was not able to have one cut. Has anyone experienced something similar? Thanks!

I think the deli wiki also has the part number for the key.

Best Wishes!

Canadian tire had no trouble cutting a spare key, Home depot was not able to do so.

Home Depot...Got lucky on the first try figuring out the best key type to go with.

I had no luck at the local mitsu dealership. THe last one they ordered was 2 years ago. Crappy tire did not have a clue what key i needed or how to find ,out and home depot was no use. Finally i went to a local locksmith that carries hundreds of key blanks in stock and it took the guy 30 seconds to find me the right blank !! So i had an adventure ! 2 keys $7.00 taxes incl. Plus one hour driving everywhere first.

it's not that hard! look at key to be copied, compare with blanks you have on the rack to find one that's the same! really, what did they think they were suppossed to do???

Funny about keys. I had keys for a Skyline and a Mitsubishi GTO cut at Canadian Tire in Kelowna. The person who did it was experienced. The Skyline key I had been told was very hard to get. It was made from a blank labeled Subaru! The Delica blank on the other hand he couldn't find. When I was at CVI in Richmond, Butch sent me to a place around the corner (Keys West I think) and the guy there looked and compared until he found the right one. They had a lot of blanks.
Bonus, his debit machine wouldn't connect to the bank, after several tries he told me to get out of there.
Lot's of free stuff for the Deli!

I went to Crappy Tire and got a mitsubishi key cut and it doesnt work that well.
Butch at CVI knows of someone in Richmond that cuts the right key!
good luck all!

Mine are the blanks from a Dodge Colt - the ignition key is a tad shorter but still works. The problem I was having was finding a blank with the recess cut on the opposite side.

Hahaha...... The guy froze like a deer in the headlights When My vehicle was not in his little book Of keys and part numbers !! He was all flustered And telling me ...."oh man i just don't know. If it's not on this key chart i don't know how to find it man...."

ilco part # x54 dc1 Was the one i ended up with and it is an exact match.

Had the same problems. Canadian tire and Home Depot couldn't cut a key for my Delica. Went then to Locksmith on Broadway and he cut a couple of good working spare keys for a few bucks within a minute.

Anyone looking for spare keys in the Kamloops area Brown's Locksmith on Lansdowne has lots of blanks and can cut from your key # if necessary.

Don't tell them you've got a 'Delica' right at the start, you'll only fluster them. Start with Mitsubishi, and then when they get close, show them the key. Most of the books list a 'generic' key which will fit most models of a particular company's vehicles.

For whats its worth. Go to a pro and pay an extra buck or two. They dont have problems only solutions. (no I dont cut keys for a living).
