1996 Buick Regal Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy in Winter Gardens, over near the community center off Riverford Road, on a Saturday morning. He'd been trying to solve this one himself for a week.
His 1996 Buick Regal had been sitting since a family member gave it to him with only one worn-down key. That key finally gave up the last time he tried to start the car. It turned partway, then just stopped. He yanked it out, and the tip had a stress crack running through it. He took it to a hardware store, got a copy made, and the copy wouldn't go in past the first tumbler.
That's the W-body ignition problem in a nutshell. The copy was traced off a key that was already worn down past what the cylinder wanted to see. The hardware store duplicator just faithfully copied the damage.
I pulled up to his driveway, looked at the cracked original under a loupe, and decoded the cut from what was left of the shoulder. The cylinder itself had some play but nothing that said it needed to come out. I cut a new blade to the correct depth specs, not to the worn key, and it went in clean on the first try.
He'd been one bad copy away from the right answer for a week. Sometimes the fix is just knowing what the key is supposed to look like before it spent fifteen years in someone's pocket.
