Anyone know how to obtain a spare key for companionway? We have a 2016 415. Thank you.

You can make copies of this key 🔑 in a local hardware store.

I tried that but the guys did not recognize the key. I’ll try again. Thank you.

All but one of my keys got lost when my boat was shipped from Griefswald to Caribbean, however it was not a problem to make a few copies in a local hardware store of a small island of Antigua, not the best stocked as you can imagine.

I got copies in a normal store. It is a standard type key, but it needs to be cut to the proper length. Perhaps this information gives a hint to the shop staff.

My experience is that it's hard to copy in the USA. I was not able to find someone who could do it, but the first hardware store I tried in Europe (the Netherlands) had no issue with it. I am sure it is standard European key
