Cost to have new key cut?

[johnnyshaner]

I went to the local Toyota dealer to have a new key cut off the VIN/passenger door key code. They quoted $109 to have one key cut (key plus one hour of labor). Well, I walked out. So, can a non Toyota affiliated locksmith cut a new key using the door code vs. copying my current (worn) key?

Just as a FYI, I had two extra keys made for my work truck (2017 Ford F250). They were $250.00 (for both).

That’s ridiculous!
I shop with my dealer all the time.
I took them my passenger side door lock.
Showed them the key code and he cut it for me for free.
And made extra for me.

Is this for a Landcruiser?
Or a newer passenger car?

Walking out was probably a solid choice, that dealer sounds crap.

IIRC my local Toyota dealer parts dept guy did it for the cost of the blank after I had given him the code, same as @89fjlandcruiser

Can't provide any info on if a non-Toyota guy can do it from the code.

I bought two OEM factory blanks off Amazon for $14 and had a local ACE hardware cut them for $5.

I’m assuming this isn’t for a 60 at that price?

Hi, An hour labor to cut a key ! Good Grief ! Mike

 

[mattcheston]

FWIW I also had the worn key issue, and having one cut from the code made starting my truck 1000x easier.

 

[johnnyshaner]

The key is for a 1987 Land Cruiser.

ya that's way high, I would figure about 40 for a Toyota key blank 10 for a non Toyota blank.

the 1 hour is for programing a transponder key and remote, obviously you truck dosnt have that so whoever quoted you may not have realized that or just assumed that it was a newer truck

can a non Toyota affiliated locksmith cut a new key using the door code

My local (up valley, AKA Vail) locksmith took my Ebay purchased blank, cut it off of the code from my passenger side cylinder and made two more copies for less than $15.00.

Ragingmatt has what you need.

If you haven’t pulled out the lock cylinder, that sounds believable. My dealership told me it would be $65 just to pull the lock cylinder to get the key code. I went home and took the cylinder out myself in a few minutes. Took it back over and they cut two keys for $12, i think.

 

[Ian Crawford]

I pulled the passenger lock cylinder and took it to a local shop, had two keys cut in 20 minutes for under $20 with a tip! I'd go to your local guy that's been around awhile.
