By bevel, you mean grind a bit thinner ?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
I’ve done it this time...key locked in frunk

No. Grind some off the lower corners of the head of the key so the key can go all the way into the lock. Make it look the same as JayBros key.

My apology for not being more explicit when I posted the X270 blank picture. When I finally found the blank locally and had it cut to match a chipped key and inserted in the ignition it was immediately obvious it needed an angular bevel to fit all the way down into the ignition lock. Took just a few minutes to bevel it on a bench grinder.
Luckily, one was good enough to pint me in the right direction. Only took a few minutes to get it open after I figured out what I was doing. Post #18 tells how I did it. Made me some spares as well so this won’t happen again (probably won’t happen again)....Hahaha..... 23 replies and only 2 of them offering help on how to actually solve Chiefburg’s fairly urgent problem.

When I first started driving, I locked the key inside the car nd had to break a wind wing. Being an impoverished high school kid and not wanting to pay for another wind wing, I began carrying a second key in my pants pocket. Pans pocket because I figured I was always going to leave the car with my pants on, but not a jacket.
I ALWAYS carry that second key in case I drop the first one down a sewer or...? I have also done this; attached very fine, coated cables to the frunk and seat latches. Now, I never use the key to open them.
