| Anyone know a good locksmith? Need a new car key
Hey, so I lost my OEM mazda key and don't have a good copy that I can use to make a new one (my spare sucks). Anyone know a good locksmith that can cut an OEM quality key from the Mazda keycode?
Thanks...

I just went back to Nissan and they cut me a new Nissan key using my heavily worn out key. I'm sure Mazda could do the same.
The Nissan techs had a hand held pliers like tool to cut the key.

Yeah, not really interested in going to the dealer or to Sears. I want a quality key, lol. I don't want my nice Eunos blank to go to waste.

what do you mean by quality? the strength of the steel/metal? the looks of the handle on the key?

with the original key code, usually you are stuck with the dealer doing it as they know what wafers corespond to that code - otherwise call a couple and see if they can do it first

I've also never had an issue with having keys cut at places like Canadian Tire. The blanks they use are just as strong as OE.

OEM quality meaning OEM. Original Equipment. Not a dealer replica. Just because a dealer does it, does not make it the same as OEM. I've had too many shitty keys cut over the years that jam/half work and I want a key that slides in like butter and works like it should every time. Just like my original OEM key did. How hard is this to understand?
I guess this is what I get for asking a legitimate question on revscene....

I went here when my S13's Key broke in the door. West Coast Mobile Locksmiths Ltd. « West Coast Mobile Locksmiths
There should be a key code in your glove box.
All new keys that aren't OEM take a bit of "breaking in" I did a few passes through mine with some 400 grit just to de-burr it a bit more, and it slid in like butter.

If the key works the first time, it should work the 1000th time u stick it in.
I don't see y it would get stuck half way or get jammed inside unless it's damaged in some way.

I guess this is what I get for asking a legitimate question on revscene.... | I went to Nissan and they cut me an OEM key but not with the traditional grinder type key cutter.
They put the blank key at one end. Turned the dials to what they felt was my key code based on what my worn out key looked like, squeezed on the grips and voila, I had an OEM key.
Did the same thing at Honda except they had to do a few other steps since there is a chip inside the OEM S2000 key's.

Btw, why isn't this in the Mazda Tech Forum? You're so fascinated with categorizing your posts into the proper place, why don't you move your thread there.

|  I love this shit. Forums man.
You ask a question.
We ask you some follow up questions.
Answer delivered. .png "Y U NO...?") :noob:
"fuck you guyz, It needs to be this this and this with the square root of this. Times pi. Don't you know anything?
Serves me right for asking a question here"
So really, you are pissed off that we didn't give you the answer that you already had?
So here's my answer. I don't give a fuck about your key. I'm going to fail you, and then put a smiley face of a monkey jacking off. It's more entertaining than your stupid problem.  Told you I would.

I asked for a locksmith not a Mazda dealer. I did finally get the answer I was looking form SpuGen so I can call this thread a partial success.

I don't think a locksmith will be able to cut you a key using a keycode. You have to go to a dealer for that. We cut keys at our gas station and we can't do that.

As for this thread... it went south because people didn't properly read what I originally asked for and assumed I didn't know what I was looking for. Anyways, problem will be solved shortly.

OE blanks are MUCH higher quality, and much stronger and a bit thicker than crappy ilco/jet/curtis blanks... aftermarket blanks wear and are fairly soft... OE blanks are a lot sturdier... you can hear the difference when you cut it... most automatic key cutters strain when cutting OE blanks...
OP: what kind of car??
if it's not a transponder key, i should be able to cut it if you get me a key code and a proper blank... my key cutter is a CNC for keys... punch key code in, insert key blank, get perfectly cut key out...
ps... NEVER trace cut any keys... you're basically cutting all the wear into the new key already, and it's prone to failure...

okay, go to Mazda, ask for your key code, they should be able to provide one for you aslong as you show your registration and license.
then you go to a locksmith with the code and get him to cut it for you. Locksmiths should be able to cut a key by code.
ive done this with hyundai before. if your key is immobilizer key then they will most likely need to program it for you.

I'm pretty sure OP has a modded miata and has a JDM Eunos blank key. His OEM key was lost and all he has left is a worn out key.
OP wants someone to properly cut his blank so that it is OEM like.

U can go to a Mazda dealership & the key code that they gave u probably won't work on your vehicle anymore especially if u bought your car used. Because there's a pretty big chance that the car got vandalized/previous owner lost the keys before so door lock cylinder & or the igniton lock's been re-coded to some other combination already...
I would suggest OP to go to a locksmith, (there's one that's right by North side of Clark & Powell, another one behind London Drugs around Kingsway & Nelson etc that I know of) and ask IF it's worth the time to re-code the worn out door locks, trunk lock & ignition lock that you got from your older car & make new coded keys according to that new code. And check & see if there's some mechanic friend who can remove all the locks for u to get send out to these lock smith to get the re-code work done.
Re-code/re&re do take a bit of time & money, but I would assume that's still gonna end up cheaper than buying new lock cylinders(at least doesn't sound like your keys needs to be programmed)....
