Duplicating or originating keys for sidewinder locks can be a profitable addition to your business. As example, the charge for a duplicate 9-3 Saab key at a local Chicago car dealer is $250.
Most of the sidewinder keys in use today also incorporate some kind of transponder security, so you must also be prepared with the proper transponder programming equipment.
Either check the www.kaba-ilco.com website to learn more about the Tri-Code H.S., TKO, EZ-Clone and the full line of transponder key blanks from Kaba-Ilco , or check with your local locksmith distributor for more information.
