Naturally, I've lost the key. The condo management wants $150 for a new one, which seems a little excessive. Unfortunately, it's a Medeco key, and from Googling around, it looks like they've done a good job of locking up the market so that people like my condo manager can jack you up. I'm sure the $150 fee discourages people from getting extra copies to give to their non-resident friends, but really, it's not like the facilities are worth driving across town to use.<br> Does anybody have a source for Medeco key blanks? Right now, I'm willing to try filing my own key (I can borrow one to copy). tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.17907 Sat, 23 Apr 2005 22:37:01 -0800 captive keys locks locksmith market medeco ripoff spacewrench
