Key code

[ajmcforester]

I'm looking to find my key code for my car. I have most of the paper in glove box nothing written on it. Not written in warranty book.

I noticed a number I can't match up on the bottom of the warranty card is that it?

I have the locks out, on the ignition I found a number that is different each of the extra ignitions I have, and including the original. It is a 2 number code that uses numbers and letters. Is that it? I didn't see any numbers on the other locks.

OK I found all ready from some pictures of peoples warranty books and cards that I have not found the numbers. I would think they would have the numbers stamped someplace. How did the dealers know to wright it down?

Well , you have options - instead of searching for the code , you can have a good locksmith ''decode'' your existing key . From those cuts , he can check a code program and get the factory code . Depending on the year , your code can be found on the passenger door lock housing , or on a paper sticker on the glove box lid . Lastly the locksmith can take a door lock apart and see the wafer numbers and decode it that way . You might have to give me more info and reasons why the need for the code . P.S. I'm a locksmith by trade , not just guessing .

If you have your lock(s) out you should be able to find it on the lock pretty easy...if you turn in on its side with the keyhole side to your left and rotate it until you find a hole in the barrel...just above the hole and about the 10:00 - 11:00 o'clock position you should find the number stamped...should be a letter and 4 numbers...

I know you are a lock smith I have been reading the boards on this thanks for your response you would now better than almost everyone. I was talking to a locksmith about repairing the drivers side lock and the ignition switch, and getting the key made to match the other three locks. I have several old keys that one may or may not be the correct code. So I can only use a key to unlock the drivers side and the ignition, I have no key that will unlock the other three locks. I have found any key cut from the correct blank works in these locks. I have several locks that can replace any bad ones, they would just need to be adjusted so you can use the same key. So to save money and cost by not re-keying all the locks I was trying to find the code.

By the way I have the glove box paper with no numbers on it.

OK I found the number on the side very lightly stamped in and not in the same position on the locks in fact out of the 6 sets I own none are stamped in the same location

You don't have originaly key with key code on it?

If you do, you can have the lock smith match all of the cylinders.

+1 -- Get thee to a locksmith! A key cut to the original code might not even fit a worn lock. While you're into this job, I'd get all new lock cylinders and have them all keyed the same. The hatch lock is a bit pricey. New door locks and a new ignition cylinder are pretty cheap, though, and well worth it.

Three of the locks are in great shape the little doors on the passenger side only has 3 little scratches and looks barly used, same with the glove-box and rear-hatch. I don't have a key that works in these locks so I thought get the key made that matches these locks and re-key good lock for the driver's side and have the ignition redone the key does the famous fall out while driving trick. I had a cop ask me why I was idling in the parking lot while looking for the key, he let me off but was a jerk about it:disappoin

While thinking about is does anyone sell new rubber pad for the deck-lid lock?
