Kernel just take the key and lock if possible to a locksmith and get extras cut. They can match it up.
Should be one of these blanks.
MFG : Part Number

Curtis:B-3
Ilco: 1098L
Ilco EZ: B3
Strattec: 42106

Here are the blanks: (aftermarket Ilco EZ numbers)

1A - CU7
1B - CU8
1C - CU9
1D - CU10
1E - 1040U
1F - CU12

Kernel for a couple of bucks I would have backup. Years ago I worked as a locksmith during my high school years and into college. One of our guys locked his keys in his work van one day and rather than call one of us to come bring him a key or just open it he broke the wing window because he figured that would be less painful than the crap we would give him. That is when he found out the wing cost 3 times as much as the regular window.

100% true, the smallest window is usually the most expensive, and your cheapest option would literally be to kick in the windshield!

4 keys
Gold lego man lego and lady dragon warrior are the 2five keys
Black lego black batman and red batwoman are the rxv keys.

Note the lego black batman operated the 2five for me to take it off the trailer. I turned the cart off and left key in switch. Then the service manager used the lego black batman to pull the 2five into the service garage.

Weird!

Again, ezgo lists these as unique keys but the locks are not complicated enough to distinguish that so if a key slides in a few bumps and most likely it will turn. It will slow someone down but not much.

I spoke to ezgo today. The reason there are only (6) variations is because keys were being lost way to frequently.

That's a cool story on their part, but it's "Myth Busted" since you can't buy a new key from them, even if you have the number. Wonder what's their answer to that...... Would be "not secure", with their 6 whole key combos? (Never heard that 6 key combos thing, pretty interesting/lame)

I have a "shop keyring" that fits most any cart I may ever see, the 3 common Yamaha keys (G1-G9, G11-YDRx, U-MAX & YDRx with 3-position keyswitch), the only ezgo common key, the only common club car key, the 2 common parcar keys, the common Western key, the "old Chevy key", and a couple oddballs that are rarely seen. I ought to "knock on wood", but it's been my same keyring since I assembled it in 2007. With the same aluminum tag painted in snap-on toolbox red, "SHOP" in sharpie, & way worn-out clear coat since I made it. You have to very carefully apply clearcoat on top of sharpie to not wash it off! (The first 2 coats have to be "dusted on").

My car keyring has a hand-filed "newer yamaha" key that fits G1-G9 on one side & G11-YDRx on the other side.its a legit old Yamaha key that shows more brass than chrome, maybe one of these days ill nickel plate it & shine it up, probably not...

When the answer matched the post here I completely forgot to ask about the sale of keys. My bad.

Why, and who, I talk to there is actually the cool story.
