Will these keys work?

EDIT: That specific blank for the DOOR is an 'H' blank (and Ignition is an 'E' blank). IIRC, your 92 AND your 88 should both take 'C' and 'D' blanks for ign and door, respectively. Might want to double check...

What blanks do you 92 guys have? Look on your keys for a single letter, will be combinations (ignition and door) of the following: A/B, C/D, E/H, J/K. If your keys are mismatched from those above combinations, your locks have been changed at one time or another in your vehicle.

I'm curious what the 92s take, or even when the C/D vs. E/H switch was made on W-bodies.

A trunklid(I think the car was a 90) that I got from the junkyard the key says D, but the extra key I got cut at GM for the 92 says E. These are the door keys.

I bought some from that dude before

 

worked in my CS

 

Where they the same ones in the picture. The only reason I'm looking is because my dealer told me the ignition keys are discontinued.

The key samped E MUST be an ignition key. If it's an oval key, it MUST be B, D, H, K. Strattec never released a secondary key w/a primary groove.

Everywhere still has appropriate blanks, but I think the door key with the GM plastic on it pictured above is what is discontinued. You can still get them without the plastic, obviously...

Sorry, it is the GM keys that are discontinued. And, of course I want OEM. :wink:

Yup exactally as shown and ya i was told there discontinued also so i stocked up on both ignition and door keys

 

So will that key in the picture also work for the door? Because every stock W-body I have seen has been just metal.

You can always have a "hardware store" key cut and go to your nearest locksmith and buy the little black plastic "GM" cover for it. At least the locksmith I used to frequent had 'em (they never had the actual keys with the plastic coating, just the separate covers that slid over the head of the key...)

Yeah my hardware store ( Ace I think ) had them too. I haven't been there in years so I dunno if they carry em anymore.

 

I really dont like the smaller plastic covered door keys anyways... I think the odd shaped metal ones that came with my car are a little more user friendly as far as being able to turn the stiff locks on my car.

Yeah like I said, the head of the door key makes ZERO difference. The blank is the same (provided you get the blank with the correct letter, which will only be B, D, H, K) and that's all that matters. Hell, you can cut and weld a F*RD key head onto the blank and it'll function just the same.

Ignition blanks are only: A, C, E, J

Door/trunk/glovebox blanks are only: B, D, H, K

 

Hope this helps.
