Hardware store, including Home Depot, can NOT cut a 928 key. The blank is difficult to obtain and cutting is specialized.
You can purchase a cylinder and red key thru ebay for $99.97. Then you have an ignition key w/o alarm option. You will need a locksmith to re-key the 2 doors, the glove box, the gas cap, and the rear hatch unless you do not need to lock your car or fill the gas tank. There's another $100. You might even need to replace the gas cap once it's removed and damaged. Add $25.
Others are correct; you will hope and pray; the OEM key from Porsche records may not fit because the PO changed locks. With the OEM key, you at least have an OEM key to start over. In either case, it could be $100 OR it could be expensive spelled: P-O-R-S-C-H-E. Maybe the PO did NOT change the locks
I was surprised; my OEM key from the dealer fit ALL the cylinders.. central locking and alarm work. I paid $105... my problem was solved (one correct OEM key opens all my locks; no "extra" key for the locks I'd have to replace from a third supplier) in three days; my prayers were answered
