Making a key to a 1994 Isuzu Trooper when keys were lost

The new owner was advised to record the numbers in a safe place

Upon arriving at a customers home to make a key to their Isuzu trooper we noticed that the customer had what he thought was a key code tag for the vehicle, key code tags were originally placed on the key ring when the original owner purchased the car. The new owner was advised to record the numbers in a safe place so if the key was ever lost or misplaced it could be originated by a locksmith or dealer with ease.

Usually when a customer has a key code a locksmith will look the code up in a code-book for that specific make and model year car or now with computers so readily available and mobile, the information is usually put onto a software cd which makes finding the code faster and more efficient.

Upon finding the correct code the locksmith will be required to use the correct key blank for the specified make and model year of the automobile. After the code and key blank are successfully found the locksmith uses what's called a code machine that can cut the key to the original factory specifications. There are a few types of these machines but most locksmiths use an HPC Code machine that requires electricity and or An HPC Punch code machine that requires no electricity and these are especially handy when working on the road.
