try an independent cobbler, they will usually do it fairly cheap. other than that, a locksmith company. Don't go to Timpsons though, as they will refuse to do it because you didn't buy the blank from them, and they say they're not allowed to do it as the blade can't be guaranteed

Indeed, Timpsons are gits and company policy won't allow them.

The only independent cobbler within 20 miles of me doesn't have the correct machine.

I'll find somewhere eventually.

Do you have only one key or are you changing the second one ? I can cut a key, but you would need to post it to me.

Its a second key, but you'd need to copy my master.

Many thanks for the offer though!

I had one cut in Mexborough at a key place called Mr Keys last year. Its on Doncaster Road after leaving the by-pass towards Doncaster. Cost was £10 last year.

I used a little cobblers in Nottingham, charged me £5 and did a brilliant job.
