shoe repairers or locksmiths do them ... u'll find either in you're local Shopping centre ... it's cut, with a laser, instead of file-ing *spelling* it down!!!

I though you had to buy the blanks because of the chip? Dunno never had to replace one yet.

Do NOT go to Mr Minit for keys. Mr Minit's keys are nowhere near as good as a proper locksmith's. We've had Minit keys and many times have broken off or worn down.
If it's for a car, go for quality and go for a locksmith. Many around. |

EABF22053C is the ford part number for the key. It is $15.00 to buy and whatever a locksmith wants to charge you for cutting. The key is NOT a chip key.

I had one done for my EL by a Locksmith. I'd rate them the best & cheapest. It cost me about $20 at the time
