Best Key Blanks

Postby Timothy » 25 Mar 2014 23:45

I'm trying to find out what key blank to order

The Best key I have has "FG" on it. I can't seem to find it. I seem to have found that "FM" is compatible with A,D,E,F and G. Does this mean that FG is one of those multiple compatibility keys? I can't find the blanks on eBay or the web.

Is there a way to figure out which key blank I can purchase that would work?

FG is a factory double milled blank to fit F and G keyways.

No, I was Googling Best. I didn't know Ilco was what I should be searching for.

I have extra "F" key blanks, so that works out nicely.

Thank you very much.
