Good Going Salteen !!!

Last week I lost one of my two original Mitsubishi keys in the surf while body boarding at Bellows AFS ~ kiss it goodbye to the ocean ~ I did not contact a locksmith yet but am surprised how you were able to get a key made with just the key # ~ I still have one original Mitsubishi key with the OEM # stamped into it ~ I contacted Dodge & Mitsubishi parts dept folks today, they both said no keys or key blanks are available for vehicles that far back ~ eBay had one seller in Indonesia that had several Gen1 Mitsubishi key blanks and I ordered two each: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MITSUBISHI-...gAAOSwz89euA6B

The local car dealers & Hardware Hawaii said if I can get a blank key then they can grind a copy of my original key onto the blanks ~ whew..! So I am guessing a locksmith can make a key with just a key # ~ rather impressive..! tortron has a cleaver method, provide a door lock to the locksmith ~ I might just ask a local locksmith about these two other methods of key making..?

Anyway here on the islands, dealerships & local hardware stores can't do anything with just key #s or door locks..! Our north shore has 35 to 45 foot waves today, TV showed five pro surfers all on the same wave next to each other ~ for the rest of us dirtbags, we are not even allowed in the water at northshore for any reason, even just swimming..!

Keeping Safe & Keeping out of the Water
