Hey all

 

Was working on my ae86 the other day and put the keys down.. now i can't find them anymore and i only had one key! garghhh

 

Does anyone know if any of the ignition barrels/locks are swappable from other toyotas/cars?

 

i have never seen a ae86 at a wreckers.. so i'm wondering if i can take it out of anythign else?!

 

Thanks!

don't locksmiths have the ability to cut you a new key if you take the ingition/lock barrel to them......or call a mobile locksmith out to you.

Take off your door trim, there's a little number on the arm that comes out from the back of the lock barrel. Take that to a locksmith they'll be able to whip up a new one for a few bucks.

If you take out the drivers door lock, there should be code stamped on it.

Call up a lock smith shop and read them the code and they will be able to cut you a key.

It cost about $25, and the time spent pulling the door apart to unclip the lock.

hehe.. i posted this in a few other forums and you have all said the same thing! lucky i asked! i was freaking out and thought i was doomed! thanks all! i had no idea that i could get a new key cut!

 

THANKS!

i started experimenting one day as i have a spare key of every single car ive owned... and it seems that ther sprinter keys seem to work... so just go cut somene elses lol

haha very true, its funny opening random corollas up and leaving the doors open and then imagine what the owner thinks later

ahh, so many hi-jinks me and my mates got up to with each others cars, all ke70s. opening them up and leaving notes... turning them around to face the other way in their driveway...swapping them in general, as they were the same color and model...ahh the fun times :D

just get any long type toyota key and it will more than likely fit, especially the ignition,

 

almost all keys are interchangeable due to them holes being slopped out, so far the keys i have tried in my mates t-18 that have worked are, sprinter, ae71 another random long type key and my soarer keys which i have 2 different ones. lol. my ae71 was also the same, massively slopped out..

noticed this with my kesevs and a mates from school. wasnt the first time he had to walk to the other carpark to retrieve his car. But yes you can get new keys cut without a problem. It would pay to find the toher keys though, not a good thing having spare keys to your car laying around.

When I locked my keys in the KE55 a few weeks ago, found out that the key from a SV21 Camry fits just fine......lucky the guy was parked next to me and about to leave too :P

bluebird keys worked on both my ke70s.

same with a torana key haha
