Where besides SOR can I get Key blanks for a 76 ignition

 

[fjeng]

I had a key made at my local Ace Hardware I was shocked they had blanks.

 

[calsum2]

I tried the local hardware stores but all the carry is the more recent key blanks

 

[Pin_Head]

Ace is the place.

 

[jimkyser]

I had a duplicate made by a local locksmith because the local ACE didn't have that right blank. It was really reasonable, less that $5.

From the FAQs ...

https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/65739-where-can-i-find-door-key-blanks.html

And in that FAQ link you would also find this link - www.key-men. That's where I got a bunch of key blanks several years ago. I just took them down to my local auto parts store to have them cut.

Home Depot
They have a blank that will work. Most stores that have a key cutter do. The key will be for a later model Toyota and it will be longer. Take your key with you and search for the match. You then have to take the key home before cutting and grind/file about 3/8 inch off the length. Small amount of trouble I grant you,(1/2 job), but better than depending on mail order and paying 4-5 bucks plus shipping


$1.25 each

The key blanks that fit for me were 33 and 31, 31 fit a bit snugger, so we used that, but alot of folks use 33.

I think it's ilco numbers, i know that Il-33 is commonly used.

They are longer but worked great in my 76.
I got it done at the local big box hardware store.

look like this, with or without plastic:

Amazon.com: Kaba Ilco Corp. TR33-P Key Blank: Everything Else

I only found black plastic, when i searched online... some old threads said more colors were available.

I had an ignition key for a '75 cut at ACE last week.

Ilco No. TR-33 Cost a whopping $1.95.

Guys thanks for the help.

I did some research and determined that the proper Ilco part number is T61c. I searched and can get them pretty cheap online. less than a buck plus shipping.

Don't get me wrong I am thankful for SOR....as I have gotten many parts from them that many just don't offer. But they are charging near $10 for a blank plus handling charges. I know they need to make a little more margin than most business to stay afloat but this kind of mark up is wrong. In bulk they can get these blanks well under .50 cents a piece.

I got a new key cut for mine at a local lock shop. The original, that I got from the PO, was so worn that it wouldn't cut warm butter, I swear. I would have to get it "just right" in the ignition, to get it to turn. I thought the ignition cylinder was shot, but the new key proved me wrong. $16.50 for the first key, $6 for every one after that. Took about twenty minutes total, and glad I tried that before replacing the cylinder.

You can still get the Toyota ones. They're more expensive of course.

Go to Ace in Canton, Fort. They did my 78 no problem. Gas door key too.

Do these have the TEQ symbol on them?

 

[JeffD]

Go to Lowes, key blank #30.

 

[seyser]

Do these have the TEQ symbol on them?

I just ordered one last week and they do not have the TEQ symbol, they say toyota on them.
