The key code is stamped on each handle. What I usually do is to remove
the driver door handle, a single phillips screw behind the rubber door
seal. There is a small 4 digit number stamped on it. You may have to
wipe it down with a rag and use a magnifying glass to be certain of the
numbers. I am lucky to have a good old time locksmith shop in my town
but you can do it by mail with our List Locksmith.
