I agree that the problem will be finding a place with the blank. Not a common one. I had to go to a locksmith before I found a place with the correct blank. Hardware store, Home Depot, Lowe's, did not have it.

Yes, Walmart makes keys.... do you want one that will work? The person working the machine isn't a locksmith, so take your chances. I gave up after the third trip back.

Same experience here on the East Coast, the RV blanks especially the two sided ones just aren't cost effective for the run of the mill stores like HD/Lowe's to carry.

Had the same experience at Lowe's. Guy looked at me with disdain, "Is this a deadbolt key?"

The blanks you need are probably Trimark and Walmart won't have them. I vote for goig to a real locksmith.

I agree, especially if the key is a double-sided Trimark. I had to go to a locksmith for my double-sided Trimark keys.

One RV shop said that Trimark limits who can order the double-side blanks. I don't know how true that statement is. I do know that key cutters with single-sided Trimark blanks are easily found.

Does WalMart make keys? Like for my RV's deadbolt? In what department?

Walmart cuts keys, but only carry the most common blanks. I have not been able to get my TT keys cut there as they never had the blanks. If your RV lock and keys are made by FIC and the key has the square black plastic grip try Ace Hardware. They carry blanks for the Club steering wheel locks. The FIC blank is the same as the Club CLB5 blank and is also the same as ilco blank no. 1573E/CLB5. it is also the same blank Yakima uses for their lock cylinder inserts for their roof rack accessories. I went to a locksmith to get duplicates cut for my Yakima inserts. They used the club blank I listed above. When I bought my TT I noticed the blanks were the same and got keys made by the same locksmith. Later I saw that Ace Hardware had the blanks.
