Yes it's a Hon 002, what a great deal you found on that key!
We charge at least $8.50 for one in the shop

It looks like a bit of 'bait & switch' though, if you scroll down the charge for the first key is higher
the duplicate of the first key is the $2.65 key... still a decent price

We use them for lock cores, they are very good to deal with.

Is that including your code lookup? I charge more than that for the first key and then $4.25 for each additional. I am just wondering what others charge.

I actually have the set of Hon File Cabinet keys, so code lookup for me is actually more about remembering where I last put the keys
