Key blank for Beneteau 23 hatch

[Dave J20493]

I know that Ilco makes a blank that will fit the hatch but I've lost that information. Can someone tell me what blank is?

Thanks
DJ

I had a F285 and the one and only key I had for the companion way hatch was stolen with other keys that I had. It turned out to be simplier to have Beneteau send a new lockset with new keys. The new lockset was also much smoother in operation as well.

The other option is to take the lockset to a locksmith and let them figure it out.

If you have not solved the problem, i can look for my old 235 key set that i saw SOMEWHERE in the house last week. I'll start to look for it.

I found my old 235 keys, including a number 223. The first time I had spares made the lock shop used a Taylor 41RB. It says "FITS CG22,1041E" on the other side. It didn't work the lock the first time because he had lined up the key point with the blank point. I took it back and he lined up the "shoulders" i guess you'd call them (stops the key from going in too far). This cut more metal off the point of the blank, but it did the job.

Thanks for the info. I will print this and take it to the lock shop

Dave, made your key?

Thanks for the info. I will print this and take it to the lock shop

I was wondering if you got your keys okay.

I had two keys made for a B285 last fall. The locksmith used an Ilco blank. The markings on the key are "997X" and "Y6". One key works fine, the other takes a little maneuvering to get it to work. A little late for this reply, but I didn't have the keys with me last November anyway...
