Mike at Vauxhall Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Customer came in standard Timpsons HD cisa cylinder brass key for cutting . I only had that blank in steel, but to her it being brass was more important. I cut her a brass universal instead, explaining the minor difference, and if it did not work come back for a refund or recut. She said if it doesn't work, she'll probably go back to get a brass one from Timpsons. Do HD still supply most of Timpsons blanks or has it changed ( and therefore timpsons probably won't do it in brass anymore.). Going to order some brass from HD.

grahamparker Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 We have 2 new Timpsons 1 about 6 months ago in Morrisons and another opened last week in Asda they are both using Silca blanks so i guess as they will have received new stock upon setup that Silca is now there main supplier.

Chris @ IKS Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 They buy from all over the place. Long gone are the days they brought from one key supplier. Mike at Vauxhall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
