Does anyone have information on having a replacement
PDP-11/05 key made?

I don't recall if there's anough info there to create new keys without an
original to copy. At one point I made a run of copies (after posting a call
here); I suppose I could do so again.

Thanks all. The local locksmith should be able to make me a new one from
the information you've all posted.

I can confirm that about 6 months ago I gave this very information to our corporate
locksmith, and he was able to make a key for me that works. He thought it such an unusual
and worthy request that he did it for free :)

The key is a Chicago GRB2: cut 215 on an Ilco S1041T.
You can use a
1041T and cut it down.
If you have a "depth and space" book and know how to "code cut" keys,
that's enough. Depth and space data of where the cuts go, and how deep
the 2 1 5 cuts are is needed.
Is SOME jurisdictions, it is "illegal" to code cut a key without PROOF
that the requester owns the lock, such as lugging the machine, or at least
the lock in the door, and possibly also having to provide a letter on
company letterhead!
