| - Since I bought my Van, I've been looking for a place to make an extra set of keys. Unfortunately, it has a computer chip, and I didn't trust any of the bogus reviews that I kept seeing on Yelp for locksmiths. I had talked with Ace Hardware, and they thought they could do it, but after seeing the keys, they didn't want to take the chance of ruining the chip. So they referred me to Mercury Safe and Lock.
It took me a while to find them - they are located in the shopping center on the Northeast corner of Shea and Scottsdale next to Sportsman's Wine. They knew immediately what I wanted and were able to help me. It did take a little longer than I expected, because they have to call the manufacture for the pin code. While I was waiting, I had a chance to look at their merchandise. They have quite a selection of Safes, dead bolts, latches, locks, etc. And they do automotive keys - so if you are looking to have extra keys made for your car, this is the place to go. They are relatively expensive, but it is just a fraction of the cost of getting keys programmed by the dealer.
