As the Watermate key seems to be a bog-standard Yale affair, can you get them copied at normal key-cutting places?

I will stand corrected if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that they use a special blank for these keys.

You might find its just as cheaper to buy one from BWB - think they were £5 last time I checked.

 

Its propably cheaper to get one from BW than have it copied, and thats if you can as its meant to be a security key.

You have to supply your Boat name and index number or your BW customer number.

I ordered a spare online through Waterscape.com and I didn't need to give any details.

That answers that, then. Was only wondering as had to get some housekeys cut for my Dad at the weekend and the lcobbler/locksmith near him only charges £1.50 for Yale types. Had I had time to nip back and get my boat keys I would have asked. But, never mind!

Don't be put off by what I said, I have only once or twice walked away with no key. Just that you may have to persuade the bloke that you are a reputable upright citizen and you don't wear a hooped jumper and a mask at nights, I sometimes have difficulties with the first bit.

A friend borrowed mine to cut a couple of spares for us both last week. They cost £6.80 each, as they're "security" keys.

 

Which makes the £5 from a chandler or BW (which includes postage if you order from waterscape.com) seem like good value.

Oh dear, so they are £3.60 out of pocket then or is my maths totally gone for a whatsit? Good stuff beer innit :cheers:

 

Give them lovely lasses at BW a call with your credit card and for £5 a key is yours and they don't even charge you p&p!

They may even send you the right key! I found out what mine fitted the other day.
