Remos key blanks

Post by Michael »

Anyone know where to find key blanks for the door locks for a Remos GX? Remos wants $15 each and I'm sure they're out there somewhere for a lot less. Mine are square and labeled "DOM." Thanks

Actually, that's a bargain price for airplane keys. If they're available in the US, count your blessings. Evektor ships theirs from Czech Republic. After shipping and import duty, I'm afraid to ask what the final price is!

If anyone else is looking - have them made on a Y12 blank and then grind off the shoulder on the bottom by the round part of the key. They'll fit perfectly, and final cost is around $3.
