Most excellent key copying experience!!!

U$D 0.58 key blank/embryo from AliExpress
U$D 1.09 key copying in S.F. Chinatown
———————
$ 1.67 TOTAL - WORKS PERFECTLY!!

Couldn’t be better! I had original masters made from key-code under helmet lock 3-yrs ago when I got bike-in-boxes puzzle. I lost 2nd backup couple months ago and really like new-gen style key a lot with its big cover. None of usual key vendors had pre-gen key in new style, so I got one from Ali.

First thing I noticed is it’s longer! Tip to shoulder is about 1.5mm longer than factory key. So I made sure to instruct guy cutting key to cut from shoulder to tip and cut off extra at end in process. This is cause of most people’s issues with these keys from Ali. If you cut from tip up, it won’t match and copy won’t work!

With that out of way, he went off in back and I could hear key-grinding taking place as I wandered around looking at knick-knacks. Afte 5-minutes, he came back with my new key and it worked perfectly!!!
