KEY
BLANKS
There
are a number of different key blanks. The style and
look of the key vary, but appearance is the least of
the problem. Any key blank will not necessarily work
in any lock, even if it's a roadster blank. The
difference is in the position of the slots on each
side, which determine which number blocks of locks the
blank will fit. Forget about operating the lock after
the teeth are cut, it has to fit in the lock first!
Below our part number is the number blocks that the
key blank is designed to fit. Some locks have the
4-digit key number in the face of the lock next to the
key slot, others like later door locks and trunk
locks, have the number stamped in the side of the
cylinder.
If
your lock has no number intact you'll have to compare
your key to these. A locksmith can also be of help. If
you have the number they may be able to make a copy
without copying your worn key, which is better anyway.
It's a little late to be harping at you about
preventive maintenance, but it's a good idea to keep a
spare key to your car that isn't used, and make a copy
before your key's get worn; as they get worn they are
harder on the lock. We usually have a good selection
of new and used locks if all else fails. Availability
has at times been spotty on the below key
blanks.
In
the below pictures of the front and back of the keys,
the edge for the "teeth" point to the area between the
two keys.

Pictures
are to illustrate groove pattern so you can identify
key. Keys may or may not have Nissan name on them.
They are very scarce, we sell what we can get at any
particular time.
