I was able to get a key cut successfully today at my dealer. Weather really sucks so I didn't drive RX there. Brought my title as proof of ownership. It cost just under $16.
So two things, it is probably not the correct era blank they used, looks like my mid 90's Miata key, round end. And when I got home and tried it on all the outside locks, I would say it works no better, and maybe worse than the key I already had. It got stuck in the hatch lock, almost didn't get it out. The cuts are not a consistent mirror image. Will have to bring it back and maybe have them redo it. What are people using to lube the outside cylinders? Normal graphite lock powder? Can a locksmith refit or refurb the cylinders? My ignition key works fine, the weather over the years has obviously gotten to my outside locks. Thanks |

Just broke my key off inside my ignition !!! Looks like the replacement keys I had made are TOO long !!! For future reference DO NOT use the M727 key blank. It is a half inch too long, which puts undue stress on the key when you turn it. Use MZ22/X200 instead. It's the proper length, but it does not have the circular head. It's squarish. I'm going to try an Efini key blank next.
