Similar to some car keys - you could try a proper car parts shop that
does keycutting.

Hard to tell from that photo. Always help to measurements of key and
photo of lock. But might be nothing more exotic than a Yale "Superior"
Euro Cylinder. If so widely available - eg Timpsons.

They are like Boots, you just expect to see one.

They often have then outside big supermarkets - both our local Tescos

Yes they do. Why not?

The lad I was chatting with with the other month at a prison was about
to go out on day release to work there. And 90% of his wage will be
stopped to pay back back his victims. So that will be 90% of his wage
until he is released in 6 months time.

Apparently his wife and kids will be calling in from school some days to
ask how much it costs to cut a key:-) They live too far away to call in
every day.

A most interesting chat (well a long chat as I worked with him for 3
weeks on that job) so I got to know a bit about him, his crimes and how
he coped in prison as he is not a drug user or an alcoholic.

Well they "only" have a little over 1000 stores.

Nearly all within supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsburys, etc.) doing keys,
shoe repairs, etc. They apparently even do replacement car keys (with
the electronics for the alarm/immobiliser) a lot cheaper than main
dealers. However their key-cutting and watch battery services are much
more than the local car parts shop.

It may be cheaper and easier to get a new euro lock off ebay.
In my opinion it alright having fancy keys to stop lock picking but most
break ins have the lock snapped or a window broken for access.

Only time the house I was in was burgled they missed the unlocked door
and jemmied a window.

Handy as that went on the police report and th insurance wasnt affected.

I think it is unfair on Locksmiths to refer to it as such. It is a
convenience service that offers, shoe repairs, engraving, key copying, and
similar.

Can be pricey - went with wife to one for a watch battery - they quoted
£10;95. Got home and found I had a battery of the right size on the 20 for
£1 card. Popped it i and the £5 Asda watch is working again.

Was that price for their "lifetime" service where they replace the
battery then and again for no additional charge whenever it needs
another new one? That is patently still expensive for those who can DIE
but not a bad deal for those who can't compared with the competition.

'DIE'? I suppose that makes sense in as much as it /is/ a better deal
for the undead among us. But I meant 'DIY'.

Blimey - It wasn't offered as a one-off payment and I didn't realise it was
a fair price. I stuggle to refit the back on my own so I take it to the
local hardware shop and the charges £4.

Looks like a anti bump key. I had a Yale barrel lock with a similar key.

These locks usually come with 3 to 6 keys. Has your acquaintance have
the spares stored in a drawer somewhere that can be swapped?

I've never seen a branch, however I never use Tesco.
