When I bought my car last week, all I was given was one key and all it fits is the ignition (black Porsche key). I was pretty sure the ignition key should also fit the other locks but it doesn't. Maybe the ignition was replaced? Anyway, what should I do to get door and trunk keys? Can a locksmith make them? Do I need Porsche blanks? Can a Porsche dealer get me keys? Help !

I took every lock out of my car and took them to the local locksmith shop. He was able to re-key them in about 48 hours, and they all work off the red key. I did this so we could easily identify which key fits which 914, Betty's is the black key, and mine is the red key.
Then I had them cut new Porsche blanks with the correct pattern for the locks. And I had them cut a one sided blank for the car. It won't ever wear because it can't be used in the car, but it can be used to make new keys. I also had them make a new key from the lock on Betty's 914. She had the original key, but it was so worn that it wouldn't work sometimes. Did the same thing with the single sided key, and the Porsche blanks on hers too. I am sure Mark can help you get the locks re-keyed. And as posted, the red key should be a valet key and only work the door locks and ignition. |
