I haven't been back to the dealer to have them fix the keys they made for me. I'm interested to find out why the keys weren't cut correctly.
the blank must be clamped in the key machine so that the "shoulder" of the blank where she notches will end or maybe its the tip of the blank in this case is indexed perfectly at a "stop" which is part of the key cutter. If that stop is off or they have the clamping a little off, then the new key will bottom out on the lock plug(the part that turns) before the notches move the discs enough to let it turn. If they have an old key to copy then they can easily check this on the new key. Starting from just the code they didn't have the cutter and / or blank set up good enough.
