Key type question
Hi there, I’m trying to get a novelty copy of my house key made and am hitting some confusion. I went to Home Depot and they told me that one of my house keys was a 77 and the other one was 97. The only novelty keys they had were 66s. I went to Lowe’s and their machine didn’t even register my key and they told me that it was because they probably didn’t have my kind of key in stock.
When I’ve tried to look up how to identify the different number of keys, I see that there is a difference in pins and I do believe my house key only has five pins. I did find more spare keys in my house that look very different than the ones I tested, but do still work in my doors locks. I was wondering if there could even be a possibility that those keys may be a 66 and if I should go back to the store to have them tested. I know Home Depot and Lowe’s are not ideal spots, but I just saw a custom key there that I really wanted to give a special someone for their birthday so I’m trying to make it work!
