1969 Ignition, Door and Trunk locks (Keeping Original Code Numbers)

[ko-lek-tor]

Go to your storage shed and get that stuff out!

It would e nice to have some old original E/H keys with the knockouts still in them!

John

Yes, like John, I will be getting in line, setting up my tent, camping out and waiting so I, too, can get my key blanks! Thanks.

I got these at the local dealership yesterday for the 69.





It's been a long time since I've seen old originals so I'm not sure if anything looks out of place with these.  It seems like maybe the "E" and "H" are larger than they used to be?

They work perfectly in the ignition, doors, trunk, and glove box.

How much were they? What were the part #'s?
Did they punch them to match your core codes or cut them to match your existing keys?
Thanks!

I can't help much on the details Kurt.  I buy a lot of parts there so he didn't charge me for the keys.

He has drawers of the key blanks separated by letter.




They use a computerized key cutter.



It will cut keys either by entering the key code; it will also duplicate an existing key.  It also has a few other modes of making a key also.



So no price or part number.  He is just well stocked with keys and the machine to cut them.

I try to take pictures of everything anymore!  I think back of all of the things I wish I had a picture of, and now it's so easy to do.

X2.....looking for the Rochester "D" and Briggs & Stratton "C" keys.

Jerry I may have an extra. Let me check and if I have one, I will let you know.

I don't know but will find out.

Bryon, rechecked my blanks and I have a set of B & S with knockouts for the "C" & "D" but I don't have any Rochester blanks.  My car has a B & S "C" and a Rochester "D" so I only need the Rochester "D" for an exact match.  Being I couldn't find any Rochester keys, I had settled on using the B & S but have not given up on finding the Rochester.

Thanks.....Jerry G.

Just a note that I purchased key blanks from our local dealership 30 years ago and C & D blanks had the same format as the 69 key John showed. Meaning you could purchase keys with the C & D stamping but they had the basic design/look as the 69 key blanks John is showing. I think I may have some older key blanks for 69 that show the groove cut farther back in which people have told me can cause key to fit properly issues.

Jerry, sorry but I don't have any of the one you need.

I would be interested in seeing the groove difference.

Bryon....Thanks for the effort.  As I said earlier, I have this set of OEM B & S keys that will work just fine.

[cook_dw]

Anyone have any "D" or "A" & "B" key blanks?  I have a few "C's" that I would trade..

John....don't if this will help but here are a couple of links to the early (H1098C) as opposed to the later (P1098C) that will interchange in a pinch.
