Checking the Profile is easy.
Here's How.
- Most of the keys you will be looking for will be found in the YELLOW section.
Domestic and Foreign Vehicles, including motorcycles, scooters, moped, ATV, RV, truck, tractor, equipment, boat and airplane will be found in the Automotive Keys Section. Place your curser on PDF and choose your page alphabetically.
Home and Office keys, along with most padlock keys can be found in Cylinder Keys. Place your curser on PDF and choose your page alphabetically and/or by North American cylinder or International Cylinder.

- Find
your key and PRINT the page. Do NOT skip this step. Many people avoid this step and try to do it by
matching the images to the one on their monitor. It will NOT work.
Printing Tip. Make sure to change your printing options from ALL to CURRENT.
-
Lay
your key over the image and check length, width, and height of you key
with the one shown. EVERYTHING from the head of the key to the tip
should match EXACTLY.
- Some head styles are not currently available, so head styles may vary.
- As long as the length, width, and
thickness of the key matches the key on the page you printed out, the
style of the head doesn't matter.
- If your key uses a shoulder, make
sure to measure from the shoulder to the tip to ensure this measurement
is correct.
-
Place the tip of your key ONTO the profile of the page you printed out as if you are trying to insert your key into the paper. Do NOT check the profile by pointing the key towards your eye. This is a common mistake which will cause you to order blanks that are opposite of what you need.
Check profile as shown in the image below.
-
Place
the tip of your key onto the profile, and look down ALL sides to check
your keys profile with what is shown. If the profile shown matches
your key EXACTLY, this is likely to be the key you need. If it does
not, find another blank that looks like yours and recheck the profile
until you find one. Order keys when you feel confident to avoid return
charges. For more info, see our Return Policy.
