I am needing a couple of keys cut and just wondered if I can just get these done anywhere, I have ordered the blanks from Bricwerks I just want to be sure they will be ok? Thanks.

There is a seller on eBay who will cut from photo or to code, not bad for a tenner. No good if you already bought blanks

The local key cutting guy has retired or I would have asked him, most of the key cutting places are franchises and I was not sure they would be able to anything a bit different?

It's just a key, nothing special. Simple job really.

Slightly off topic, but Zammo from grange hill used to run my local key shop :D

In answer to my question, no, 3 places said they could not or were not willing to undertake as the key was double sided and too thin, ended up in an expensive locksmiths.

I have had numerous VW keys cut with no problems and they have always had the blanks to begin with. You must have some pretty clumsy keycutters in your vicinity, :lol: Nothing difficult or unusual about double sided keys.
