where to get pellet keys copied

So the Fleetwood I got only came with one set of keys. Where can I get a second ignition key (got a door key made).
Homie Depot and the local hardware store were not helpful....

Locksmith.

I wouldn't mess around, go to the dealer.  My Fleetwood, only came with one set also.  It wasn't very much to get the correct key.  It was either $19 or $29 for the key and no charge to cut it.  I had a new set for the Caprice Wagon done the same day and don't remember which was which.  They will probably have to order one, but it only takes a couple of days.  They are made of steel not aluminum, as you might get at the hardware or HD.

I agree. I did the dealer thing with all 3 of my GM cars. It obviously costs a little more, but like Tom said, they are not aluminum, and will last forever.

Measure the resistance of your key with an ohmmeter. Look up what number key that is. Order that key off ebay. Take to Home Depot to get cut to match your key. Easy, cheap.

Did this and had them cut at TruValue for 2 dollars each,cheapest way to go unless you have your own cutter.I have the cutter but the drive belt/hose is broken.

Careful mentioning ebay keys, the wolves at ISSF went crazy when I did. Apparently GM is the only place on the planet that makes good key blanks. Odd that aside from not having GM stamped into it my ebay sourced (for a couple bucks) key looks exactly like my GM one and is just fine after more than three years of use.

Of course a couple of resistors eliminates the need for the darn key anyways.

Yeah I resistored out the Pass key in now Cory's Buick and my Mom's 96 Camaro.
I'm just being Lazy. Unless Chris already had it programmed out with the tune?

No, I've never messed with deleting that on one of my rides before. I still have one set for Jade too. This reminds me I should make another set for her and the Fleetwoo....err...nevermind. LOL!!

And going this route you can buy the gold keys for the Fleetwood   

Just called the local Caddy dealer anywhere from $37 to $59 depending on which resistor is in the key. They only stock 7 of them, the other 8 would be special order and almost twice the price. Here comes ebay lol (still haven't measured my key).

Well I'm a #6 for sure. coming in around 1460

Ebay key worked fine for me.

Oh snap got me a NOS key
