Where can U get a key cut like this?

Bet there are, unless you want "yards away"...

You know what to do....

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

A good locksmith

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.

Who or what are 'Timpsons' - never heard of em.

So much for 'widely available' :-)

The cobblers/dry-cleaners/key-cutting kiosk that's in most(?) Sainsburys

None anywhere near here.

Anyway guided with that its seems to be a magnum millenco key, and there is a decent locksmith on email in Cambridge

if it is, and the owner has the little fob with three barcodes on it tucked away somewhere, you can order a key online instead of taking the original in to have it duplicated.

Looks like it's diyable with a pillar drill. Now's the time to get one if you don't already

I must admit, I thought there was one in most UK towns of a decent size. They are like Boots, you just expect to see one.

They often have then outside big supermarkets - both our local Tescos and Sainsburys have one (the later is a proper shop).

Interesting business story- there was a programme on the TV about it a few years back.

They are called "Dimple Keys" The main manufacturers are Chubb and Yale

They give ex-offenders a second chance?

Even if the wpner has the little fob, i doubt he would be able to find it inside of three months..

Elderly people...I guess its coming to me soon

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.
