Yes I could file the tumblers, and my locksmith is past retirement age. He has had other blanks I didn't think he would have. If I filed it, I'd still have to get a key for the customer, I'm not going to give him mine. I had to place an order with Victory Glass anyway so I ordered two. One for the customer and one for my key ring. $10.50 each. It's very nice to have the correct key when going on service calls! And here in the shop too. Plus it's for an 850, I can't defile it by filing it! ;)
