Lost entry door key

[Cwalther]

Lost my entry door key. Got in with a spare. Where can I have a duplicate made ? Similar to the one in the pic, but has a purple jacket.

Purple jacket means nothing.

Any key kiosk should be able to make that key.

Maybe.

I went to the local hardware store to get a copy of the coach door key for our 2026 Gemini 24KB. I had not lost it. I just thought it would be helpful to have an extra key. They made the key without any problem but it would not work in the coach door in either key slot - the normal lock or the deadbolt.

Interestingly enough it did work in every one of the outside cabinet doors that I tried, and I tried several times, but when I again tried the coach door it would not work. It made me wonder if there is some extra protection given to the coach door entry lock. It seems like a pretty simple door lock and I would not expect it to have any kind of chip protection, but the duplicate key just would not turn in the coach door.

Perhaps I should contact the vendor and ask.

Hold the original (working) key side by side with the copy and compare the shapes/notches. The door lock likely requires greater precision than the compartment doors.

That is the first thing I did when the key would not work in the coach door. They keys were identical as far as I could see.

I guess the next step would be to find an actual locksmith to see if they can make a working key.
