Spare keys for wheel locks

Post by CarlP » Fri Jan 27, 2017 8:12 pm

Seems these people can cut them for a very reasonable price (£3.95 +P&P)

I have just ordered a spare key for my B10 Classic, hopefully it will fit when it arrives...

If only they did the lock as well.. :)

Well it took a few tries but I now have a working spare key for my Classic wheels and the locksmith (Bob) now knows which blank to use and can cut keys from the code stamped on the original key. If anybody else need a key I would suggest emailing Bob at info@bobslocks.co.uk, he's based up in Stirling, Scotland and is very helpful and at £3.95 +P&P his prices are pretty good as well.

This is very timely Carl. Yesterday was the first day for a while which had a combination of reasonable temperatures and my free time so I indulged in a bit of key bending. Not so bad that they wouldn't work but I would feel I lot happier getting some spares.
Many thanks for the contact details.

Folks, just thought I'd add my positive experience for 1st Class Keys. Just received two keys for under a tenner. The first cut was just a tad too long to fit so they were returned and reworked. Now fit just a treat. Excellent and very quick service.
