damiend Posted April 27, 2024 Report Share Posted April 27, 2024 Hi everyone, Would anyone know where I can get copy's of this key... I bought an apartment recently here in ireland and was only given this 1 key which opens the main entrance door and my apartment door. When I went to the auctioneer looking for more keys after the sale went through he said that's all he was given. I went back to the previous owner who tells me he has no other keys. I was onto yale who basically said there might be an accompanying code card for the key, I told them that the previous owner has no recollection of any card being issued with the keys. Then yale said I have to go back to whoever fitted the locks originally.. now these apartments were built 27 years ago. I have been in touch with a number of key cutting companies but all are saying they can't do it. They say just change the locks. But that would mean I would have to replace the locks on every apartment.. Any help on here would be much appreciated as this is driving me bonkers. Damien.

grahamparker Posted April 27, 2024 Report Share Posted April 27, 2024 I would advise the same as many other, Change the locks and cut extra keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted April 28, 2024 Report Share Posted April 28, 2024 Looks to be a Yale Pyramid key after a little search bet you’ll struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growster Posted April 29, 2024 Report Share Posted April 29, 2024 On the other side should be a "D" followed by 2 digits. That's the dealer code, with that and a bit of luck, one can find the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damiend Posted April 30, 2024 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2024 Thanks very much for the replys. Much appreciated. Growster you are correct on the other side there is actually 2 "D's" followed by 2 digits. Top right hand corner has D41 and under where it says "patented do not copy" there is D16. Top left has E153. There is also a longer number embossed on it PR031195. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growster Posted April 30, 2024 Report Share Posted April 30, 2024 D14 is the dealer, D16 the differ. I think I have had the same enquiry. I haven't as yet found out who D14 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damiend Posted April 30, 2024 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2024 Does that mean if I went back to yale and informed them the dealer code is D41 that they would be able to identify who the dealer is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
