Re: Briggs and Stratton Key?

On one of my sets of keys for the truck the ignition key has a Cadillac symbol.

The other says "True Value" as in the hardware store where I had the key duplicated from the Caddie key.

When I worked at the shop it was quite common for a customer to lock their keys in the car. We had a jar of keys people left over the many years. Before you tried the slim jim you tried all the keys in the jar. I rarely had to use the slim jim to get in.

There are only so many patterns that they cut. It is on the order of 20 or so. So in other words if you go to a shopping mall and there are 20 cars from the same manufacturer in the lot manufactured in the same time frame as yours, you probably have a key that works. Of course modern keys with the computer chip in them don't fall in this category. You'll be able to get in the door but you won't be able to start it.
