Subject:Lock re-keying
From:Jonathan Poole

Hello List,

I've been looking for someone to rekey all of my lock cores but haven't had
much luck and am interested if there is still anyone associated with the
list or online that could do a good job rekeying all of my lock cores.

I have an '83 Westy with lock cores that match two different keys (3 if you
count the gas tank) and i'm not happy with the match of the primary key as
it was a reproduction and is worn.  I purchased a few new keys and had them
cut to match the wrong core (dang it!) so at this point all of my good keys
only work in one lock.  I'd like to have the whole set of lock cores rekeyed
to match the good keys, and done in a professional manner.  I've watched
some locksmiths grind and file until things work but with sloppy results and
am tired of keys that occasionally bind etc.

Any leads on a good locksmith appreciated.  I'll be glad to pull cores and
mail them with keys.  I'm also due to be in Memphis TN/North MS. across to
the NC Coast and down the SC coast over the next month if there is a known
good automotive locksmith on that route.

Thanks,

Jonathan Poole
