2003 DA40 - key blank

Post by lawk »

Living in a remote location, I have to order a key blank for a 2003 DA40 for the doors and ignition. The key I have has AGS272 imprinted but there is no manufacturer name. Anyone know which key blank to order for 2003 DA40? thx

Hello,

When I bought my plane some month there was only one set of keys. Dangerous ... Diamond told me that my plane (manufactured in 2001) is too old to find the blank key and that I have to buy new lock. Result some hundreds euros....

I have made a lot of research and I finally find the supplier: SILCA. The ref for the big key is : GS4R; the small one GS13.

Good thinking. What about a place to hide a third, emergency set in case you go somewhere and they lose your keys? (I have one hidden on my DA42, but I could never find a place to hide them on my DA40 that I was comfortable with.)

Buying new lock - not good, because, of course there are 3 of them to replace :(

Fortunately for me I have numerous ignition/door keys and a truly ridiculous number of keys or one of the fuel caps, though only 2 for the other one :thumbsd:

I found this site when I needed additional ignition and lock keys.

https://www.easykeys.com/

They may help for other lock or key needs as well.
