Cost to have new key cut?

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.

Just to let you all know, the price quoted was me pulling the lock cylinder, and I told the rep. that it was for a 87 Land Cruiser. In fact, I showed him my current dumb (non electronic) keys. In addition to the lock cylinder code, the dealer rep. said I had to have copies of the registration and VIN. That's fine, of course, but the over all experience was pretty annoying.

I've had keys cut, using my old worn key as a copy, but I need to have a lock cylinder rekeyed (PO replaced one of the cylinders), so I want to have a new unworn key for a locksmith to work with. Now to find somebody to do that . . .

Racingmatt, thanks for the info. I'll pull the lock cylinder and get you the code. You don't happen to have any lock cylinders that you can rekey floating around?
 
I called my dealer and they were a bit wishy-washy about it talking over the phone. The guy did admit that they did not have the older key books (that he knew of) so if they couldn't find it in the database via the VIN that they really couldn't cut for me. Also said they needed my license and the title to show ownership if cutting from the VIN, which I thought was interesting.

I worked for Toyota for 12 years as a Technician before opening up my own shop specializing in Vintage Toyota's , I have a Full

dealership SST Re-Key & Re-Code Break out box ,& Full Set of " Test " Keys , I can simply Re-code Your Existing PO replaced

lock cylinder for U to your Desired Key Code U Spec.


These are Called " Test Keys " , This is what Toyota Gives U when U Complete Your Lock & Key Repair Re-Coding & Re-Key

Training Class

These are used in the event a Client looses There keys , U simply stick one in at a time "Test" it and move on to the next one until U find the " Winner " , Once a "winner" is found U can make a New Key that matches the vehical lock Cylinder

These are also good for making a client a New fresh factory Master Key , when all they have is a old worn out key and no key code , but obviously I need a Lock cylinder or the vehicle in front of me to do that

This is where popping a known good Fuel door Lock Cylinder in under a minute and Using it to make a New Master key Sets Via
USPS Mail Order comes into play


But , Ultimately The Best way & Most desired Low Cost Solution Giving the Best results as a Whole is having or obtaining the Factory Key Code for any Toyota Vehicle Including Land Cruisers

All of the60 series I have had the ignition key and door keys were different. Likely a stupid question but did they come from the factory with one key opening everything and starting the vehicle?

Yeah, should be one key to rule them all. Mine is all matched up as it should be. Seems lots of people replace the ignition cylinder when it gets difficult to start, but a fresh cut key usually does the trick in my experience.

No ,

All 60 & 62 series USA Spec. trucks had only 1 Master Key Code

It is / was VERY common for the ignition cylinder to be replaced on a 6# series , & a PO would Not bother to have it re coded due

to the cost & labor time of doing so
 
The ignition and door keys on my 84 are also different and the door key is longer than ignition key. My 89 is same key for door and ignition. Funny thing is door key from 84 works on both door and ignition on my 89.
 
@RAGINGMATT

I have a spare ignition cylinder for my 89 that is a different key code. Are you saying you can recode it to my current key code?

Can door locks be recoded too?

Yup been chatting with him on this... He makes it sound like he has the ability to re-code all the cylinders.

Toyota Had different shaft length key blanks , that is the part of the key up top after the code cuts portion down low varies on

some model toyota vehicals using the same profile blank

Land Cruisers 60 series use a short stubby key blank , while a 85 Celica-Supra / GTS Used a longer version of the same profile key

blank

Both Long & Short Blanks are interchangeable

Just got my replacement keys from Matt. Super service, as I ordered them Wednesday evening, and received them today. They work perfectly. Also, I was able to read the code on the cylinder without removing it from the door, which saved a lot of time. Thanks again, Matt.

How did you visualize the code without removing the cylinder?
 
After removing the door card and plastic, I reached in and cleaned off the top of the cylinder, and there was the code. I don't know if I was just lucky that is was on top. If it had been on the bottom, I was planning on using an inspection probe to read it. I used my phone camera and took a photo as a backup.

Post a photo of this "Code" on the fuel door lock U have ? o_O

Toyota only stamped the key code on the passenger side front door lock , Unless U have OEM Replacement lock cylinder there with a Unique Different Key that has NOT been re-coded yet .

Remember , its a 5 Digit Code a Letter K & 4 Numbers 1234 or K1234 for example
 
Saw this on the fuel door lock. But it's only a 4-digit....I reckon I'll pull the door panel.
