Another approach to getting keys

I recently learned of this outfit on another car-oriented listserv and
used their services:
www.keys4classics.com
They offer a service that I'd never heard of: You send them a good
close-up digital photo of your key, and they reverse-engineer the code,
which they provide for your future reference, along with the finished
keys. It's like getting a brand new OEM key, without the accumulated
wear. The keys for my recently acquired '84 VW Quantum turbodiesel
(didn't know there was such an animal until I saw this one advertised!)
worked OK, but they clearly weren't the originals, and when I had a
dupe made, the locksmith commented on the fact that one key was
slightly twisted.
Keys4classics sent me 2 keys for just under US$30. Airmail from
Canberra to Seattle was 6 days. They keys worked perfectly from the
get-go.
