I lost the only key to a friend's Scout, so I need to get a new key made. Fortunatley the door lock uses the same key as the ignition, so I have pulled the door lock so I can take it somewhere to get a key made for it.

Any have a recommendation for a good place that can do this near RTP? (I'll go farther if I have to, but since I work in RTP, that would be easiest).

I did a quick search in the yellow pages, but I don't really want some big national chain that mostly specializes in picking locks when you get locked out. Would rather have local shop that knows how to make a new key for a lock.

Thanks!

most locksmiths can create new keys for you. you probably did not even need to remove the lock. the services are mobile and mostly done at a reasonable cost.
 
I watched a locksmith do it for a truck one time (not mine). He put some marking paint on a blank, put it in the lock, twisted it a couple of times and ground it out where the tumblers hit and it worked.
I'm sure he had done it before but it took all of 20 minutes after he arrived.
