Patio door key March 22, 2019, 06:07:59 pm Hi-I have an ‘84 22tk and realized I do not have a spare key for my patio door. The key is deco round head with “D” stamped on it. Does anyone know where I can find a copy? I have struck out locally and online so far. It looks like it is precut...Thanks in Advance,Josh

Re: Patio door key Reply #2 – March 22, 2019, 07:54:56 pm Yes, Joan. This is for the coach door. Unfortunately it is unavailable at locksmiths in the Los Angeles area. It is an old pre-cut key from the 80’s. It looks like many rv’s had similar keys...Thanks!Josh
Re: Patio door key Reply #3 – March 22, 2019, 08:40:38 pm Two possible cures.Take the key to a locksmith and find the best match. Take it home and use a set of jeweler’s files to open up the grooves as needed, until it slides into the lock. Clamp the old and new key together and cut the notches.The other method starts with piece of brass the same thickness as the key. Use a jeweler’s saw and files to make the key blank from scratched.Broken hack saw blades can be shaped into gouges for cutting square grooves.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Olson-Saw-5-in-Jewelers-Saw-with-End-Screw-SF63525/305268098General Tools 707475 Swiss Pattern Needle File Set, 12-Piece - American...Larry As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

There's a real Locksmith (not a hardware store) that I use here that would fabricate a useable key in less than 30 minutes. Nothing I've ever taken to him has slowed him down much. 1 Likes

Re: Patio door key Reply #6 – March 23, 2019, 10:21:13 am Dear Josh,You mentioned you are in the Los Angeles area; so am I. My "go to" locksmith is on Washington Blvd in Altadena, CA. The shop is called Foothill Lock and Key. Look them up online and give them a call. Take a picture of your key at different angles with your cell phone and have them handy. I have used them for years with old cars and collectibles and they have never failed me yet.Gary 2 Likes
