Growster Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I heard that some B&Q Warehouses have been equipped with fully automated key-machines. Supposedly, rim/mortice keys cost £3.50/£4.50; for starters, they have a 2 for 1 offer. Is that so? Has anyone tried it? Best wishes, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaloti Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wonder who's selling these machines to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 As mentioned by earlsdoncobbler its not only the B&Qs of this world one of my local supermarkets also now cuts keys! Following the arrival of these machines into retailers I re-organised my entire workshop to bring key cutting right into the main eyeline of my customers. Key turnover has really increased following this change around, so for the time being I have not noticed an effect from these machines. Fight fire with fire.

key cabin Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 You dont need to worry too much about these machines, we had one in our local B&Q and it didnt last long. There was too many people bringing them back because they either didnt work or was the wrong key. They took it out 3 months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
