Keyless in Downingtown (1 Viewer)

Thanks 76FJ40, that is plan B!

Here is the smart ass answer. Go into the hood and ask who knows how to steal a old car.

I saw a bunch of cons break into a newer car to save a kid who was locked in on the news last week.

Every key problem for me has been solved by:
A1 Security Center
13 Coffman St
Malvern, PA 19355
Rob Hoeflein
610/647-5042

It is about a block from the big Wawa on Rte 30 @ Planebrook Road, there is a Uhaul across the street from that Wawa if that helps to "see" it.

I'm on my way to your house with my FJ key to see if it will work!

 

[KGBruce]

So, Mac kindly stopped over just now and we found out that his key does not fit the glass slipper.....

to piggyback off of Andys reply , since you are in Downingtown , go the other side of the train station , that the hood of Downingtown , I know this because I grew up there

Progress Report: After removing the passenger side lock cylinder I cleaned it up and found a 5 digit stamping. 1 letter followed by 4 numbers. I gave this code to the Del Toyota parts desk and after looking it up in his book, he confirmed it to be a good code. Says he will have 3 (yes 3!) new keys to me within a couple days. If this works, I may remove the ambulance door lock cylinder and see if I can finally get a key for that door.

For those who are wondering, I did use a phone mounted endoscope in an attempt to find the lock cylinder code without removing it from the door. In my case, the stamping was on the top of the cylinder which, had it been clean enough, could have been identified with the endoscope. However, I couldn't see any numbers until I pulled the cylinder and cleaned off the grime. Only then did the numbers reveal themselves.

Thanks for all the great help & suggestions. (No "hood" was involved in the pursuit of a solution)

This, however, has not yet erased my dreams of a handcrafted, Amish, artisan key from Lancaster lock country by CAZ

I meant to post this up earlier. @RAGINGMATT is a MUD supporting vendor and sells and cuts NOS Toyota keys. Might be too late if you already ordered from local Toyota dealer but figured I'd post it up anyway.

Nice!

He has the same Curtis cutter I have. What I don't have is the Toyota code book. The number stamped on Ken's cylinder is Greek to me without it.

Hi Matt,
Wow! Really wish I'd known before I talked to the Toyota dealer this morning! (Nothing against them) You're really set up! And yes, I'm in Downingtown/Chester Springs area, about 45 mins east of Lancaster. If I was in urgent need I would definitely get them from you (as well) but I gave the dealer the order this morning and the truck is safe inside my garage. I don't, however have a key for my ambulance door lock. Is that something you could do?

Thanks very much for reaching out and thanks to @iptman for letting me/us know.

Thanks !

no, i was not really aware of a special or designated TLCA chapters sub-forum's section if u will ?

maybe that's because i currently am not a Member of the TLCA , or belong to a chapter


From like 1990-1993 i was active in The Capital Area Land Cruiser Club outside DC in Northern Virginia , but i moved out

of my parents house after High School , and the Drive to Capital Area Meetings & Events became a 2+ hour commute

There was No Baltimore Chapter at the time , not sure there is now either ?


My folks live in The Lancaster Area , I don't ,


My Shop Rising Sun Mechanical is East of Washington DC , still Approx. 2+ hours From Capital Area Meeting Locations


I will stop back here and check in once in a while , its a UN-Explored new section of MUD to wander around and meet

new folks .


i will leave the Keystone-Cruisers with a Night cap ...................................Enjoy

An Amish crafted key from Lancaster County....

Made from wood??? Cool.

 

[stock]

A locksmith can make a key at your place if you have blanks.

 

[Pacer]

If the ignition switch can be removed easily, any competent locksmith can make a key.

I used to have a guy, when I lived in Philadelphia, who would do this for old motorcycles.

Ol' Erv ain't doin so good these days.

 

[ToyotaMatt]

so how did this story end ?

with the DEL Toyota code cut keys ?


like this :

or like this :

 

[KGBruce]

The day after I gave Del the code taken from the passenger side lock cylinder, they had several blanks waiting for me. The service manager cut one key from the code I gave him over the phone. We decided I would try that key to make sure it worked before he cut any more. The key worked so I had him cut a couple more spares. Ran about $10.00 per key.
Thanks again for being ready to express some keys to me!
