Window Keys

[mrkeys]

Ok so I use the following companies for Window keys

Aldridge

sks

Nwkeys

Davenports

 

Between them they cover most bases but I am seeing an increasing amount of pre cut keys for window locks that don't seem to be covered by these companies, does anyone know any other companies that may fill in the missing gaps so I can stock a larger range?

Thanks for the effort Howard but I'm trying to locate extra suppliers not retailers, I've already got 95% of what's in the links. 

Using retailers as suppliers would mean there's no money to be made after postage is applied unless I sting the poor customer for £10-£12 a key and not only do I not have the heart for that I doubt customers would wear it.

Appreciate the help though - looks like my search continues.........

You have most bases covered with the suppliers you have listed although there can be huge price differences between them for some window keys.

The longer WMS keys for the tilt and turn windows have always been hard to track down (virtually impossible now).

[mrkeys]

I'm thinking with some I might just order one from a competitor and use it as a master to copy from, there's always something close enough to alter

A few years ago you  used the term

" harder to find than rocking horse shit!" 

That phrase stuck in my mind ever since.

I understand about cost of using retailers, OEM parts and so on,

many times that is the only answer for specific needs,

and that needs cost, plus margin / profit is passed onto the customer just like any other profitable business, ...take some business classes,

I explain to the customer about running a small business,  I am no different then a plumber, electrician, carpenter, realtor, banker...,

most folks have no idea what it takes and or what is required to run a successful small business, let alone any kind of business for that matter,

most folks live pay check to pay check,

if they do not like the cost, they are free to look elsewhere, welcome in, goodbye, have a great day and come back soon,

I will even suggest other locksmiths and or places to look in town, nearest city, and on line...,

in the majority of cases they come back for the service,

started learning in the 60s after school hours, have my own business since 1994, working on retiring now,

it's been a good fun run,  in my 70's now, parts are wearing out, time for more fly fishing & surf fishing,

enough gabbing, go put some coins away for your future

Great advise Howard, i do the same as you and always have.

Just purchased a surelock mcgill outside access device for a trade customer and it was close to £1k. Quoted and they ordered.

Thanks to this forum Peter and Count identified exactly what i was looking for THANKS guys.

Quite often most just don't want the hassle of searching to find something so are happy to pay.
