Uh-oh! Key broke

[Jayboundless]

So this just happened. Door key 1969 911. Problem is I only had one. What's the best solution to get a replacement? Can a locksmith key the door?

With those parts of the key a locksmith should be able to cut a new one.

+1 on taking the parts to a locksmith.

Nope.

Go to the Porsche dealership with your chassis number and get one cut off the records.

It worked for me.

If it's just the two pieces then braze it back together and go to the hardware store to have a copy cut. Suggest you make a couple while you're at it.

youll probrobly have to go to a locksmith anyway because from my experience the usual hardware stores dont carry porsche blanks

[Lapkritis]

Tons of P69A blanks on the electronic bay dot com for cheap. Local hardware can then cut them no problem... normally free of charge.

what i did with my 1966...

buy a couple blanks ...

Take the broken piece and place it on the blank and trace it with a pen or mask it with some blue painters tape to duplicate the same form.

Use a dremel to make the same indentations. Those keys and tumbler sets do not have that fine of tolerances so you should be okay!

Seriously guys. If you ferk about with trying to copy the worn out copy of a copy you are going to destroy the ignition lock with your best effort of a key. Get a proper one cut from the factory records.

My father did the same thing to our 68 912 key. I have acquired several blanks that match this pattern. A local good key shop was able to cut a new key off the old key.

PM me if you need a blank and I can send you some pics to make sure my blanks match your original. I can sell you one or two if your interested. unless you have sourced another.

You have several options. SOME dealers can make you a new key from your VIN. I had to call several dealers - one "thought" they could for $150. A good locksmith can also do this from your VIN. My locksmith said he could for I think $80 with proof of ownership.

Your older style key should not be that difficult to cut. I took my 1981 SC key (it has a much more tedious profile) to a locksmith and the key would not work, and I wasted a blank. I finally found a good locksmith and he cut mine no problems from a copy.

I had this done at a dealership, none of the keys worked. Go to a good locksmith with your key.

If that key was indeed working before it broke, I'm guessing a small screw driver will too at this point.
