Getting Keys Copied Dublin City Centre?

Post by J145 »

I need to get a set of keys for an 88 Mini copied, I tried the hardware place on Talbot St. but they sent me round to the locksmith on Amiens St. but neither of them have blanks for the ignition key. The locksmith suggested Central Key on North Frederick St. but that's a bit awkward to get to on foot.

Can anyone recommend anywhere in the city centre which might be able to do me a copy?

Thanks,

J.

Get the blanks on ebay, if they don't suit I'm sure somebody will take them off you.

Central Hardware on North Frederick Street is the best place in the City Centre for getting old keys cut.
They know what they are doing.

It's only at the top of Parnell Square East. Walking up O'Connell Street, keep to the right side of Parnell Square.
Pass by Waltons and Central Hardware is just after it on the right.
