REPRODUCTION KEYS
« on: June 08, 2015, 05:27:14 PM »
Has anyone had a problem getting a locksmith to cut the aluminum keys from Hanson?

None of my local locksmiths will cut aluminum since it clogs up their cutting wheels.

Many keys are made of aluminum.  Try the Home Depot type of locksmiths and you should not have a problem getting them cut.
