My '89 Turbo Supra has been down (apart) for 2 years and that includes a move from Wisconsin to Phoenix. I lost the door and hatch keys. Can I get these from a toyota dealership or ??? Thanks for the suggestions. Mark L
Door and hatch keys
- Thread starter marks89turbo
- Start date
umm if u have the code for the key, like the newer cars do when u buy a car from a dealer there is a metal plate attached to the key that says your key number, if that or try asking a locksmith to make one for the car...
From what I remember you can go to toyota dealership with your vin number and have them make new keys.
Inside the passenger door on the lock cylinder is supposed to be the number for your keyset. I've talked to my local dealer, and don't know if he's right or not but he said that my Supra ('88) was too old for them to still have the record for what keys it had, so the cylinder barrel is my only option and may be yours as well.

Toyota can no longer provide Key codes for the MKIII based on vin#.
Remove the passanger side tumbler assembly and write down the numbers
found on the side. Take them to the dealer, they can put a blank in there
set the #s on the machine and it will make the key. My local dealer did it
for my 87 turbo in about 4 mins. Now I have a key that opens all the locks.
The key I got with the car would not open the hatch or glove box (valet key).
how much did those run at the dealer, im thinkin about gettin a oem key since i only have a spare that wont open the hatch, and the pass side door...
so i have a f-n valet key.. i thought i just had mismatched locks mine wont unlock the glove box or the hatch. looks like im pulling the lock cyl first thing this spring

I think I might have to do that.
If not, I think most locksmiths can rekey a lock to whatever key you need.
i think its 90+. because when i was working toyota for tis or the online manuals they didn't have anything before 90 on the comp. yet you could still order stuff from parts(certain things that is). but do what others said get the number off the tumbler and take it to them.

Is this a recent development? Because a couple months after I bought my car back in '07, I had two fresh keys made at a dealership off of the VIN. That was about a year and a half ago.
ya and i have had made key before by vin too so its news to me altough maybe its new and it might be 90+

I called Toyota National customer ser. and was put thru to another office and was told that "No" they can no longer look up Key codes for our cars.
This was about 7 Mos. ago.
Thanks for all your help guys. When I get the door panel off do I have to remove the lock cylinder or will I able to read the numbers with it in place? I always like to know ahead of time what to expect as I get into a project. Anything unusual in removing the cylinder that is of note or is it pretty straight forward? Mark L
chances are you'll have to remove the cylinder...unless your head can fit inside the door...in which case, we'll probably need some pictures of that.
wait so if only the dealer sells the blank keys for $4-$6 then how much is it to get the original key made and the dealer does it too? kinda confused here...

You pay for the key blank - they will punch the key for "free" if you
have the key code. The code is one letter followed by four numbers.
OK guys. This is where I hang my head in humble apology. Actually 2 apologies. First and most humbling is, after reading the replies I realized that I had completely forgotten about the hatch release, DOH!!. The car has been down for 2 years in my shop without need for the keys and or opening the hatch. I recieved 2 keys with the car at purchase. The ignition key (actually opens all) is very worn and lose in the ignition and a round topped key. Because the ignition key was so worn and I feared that more wear would make it uncopyable (word??) I immedietly had a new key made and put it in my wallet, using the original until I put it away during the downtime. When I started to move the car to get it on the trailer, instead of digging out the original I took out the copy and that is when I realized it didn't open the hatch or doors. I must not have checked it when it was made. I remembered getting a second round topped key at purchase but could not find it so I just assumed it was the door/hatch key and it was missing. Didn't try the original which would have prevented all this post from taking up space. Hence the second apology. But if any good info came thru that helped someone with a key problem then it was worth it. Thank you guys for your time and effort on my behalf. It is much appreciated. Oh and third apology. The first post I thought I had lost due to inadvertanly hitting a key so I created a second post. Some of you must have seen that. Thanks for not bring that up. Going out now and looking for a spiked branch to hit myself with heh! Mark L
