PEBRA TYPE DIMPLE HIGH SECURITY KEYS
for BMW "new six" E3 sedans and E9 coupes 1968-1977 = all S/SC/L/i variants of the 2500 (2.5), 2800 (2.8), 3.0, 3,3, Bavaria

Although this high security key looks like other dimple types it has slightly angled faces and not many key cutters have the correct adaptors to cut it properly. We have many years of experience with them: to see feedback about us search online for "keys4classics" on any owners' forum.

The design of this key type is called "PEBRA" after the original manufacturer.

KEY CODES AND DECODING

The key code is a number 1 to 1100, usually with 2 letters before the number (but the letters are not important). The code was often marked on original keys and may have been noted in the owners manual. Code may be marked on locks: DOOR lock - on the side of the small lever arm coming off the rear of the lock. TRUNK: on the washer on the rear of the lock. IGNITION - on the side of the ignition lock housing. (note: numbers like 36.106.1 on a lock housing are a part reference and not a key code).

We supply new keys cut to the original code (not copied/duplicated/traced). If you don't have a key code - no problem. We'll decode your existing key from an emailed photo, cut new keys and provide you with the key code, which may be useful in the future. In any event, for our 100% warranty on cut keys you should email a photo of an existing, working key so the code can be checked.

We cannot cut keys to your VIN (vehicle identification number or "chassis" number). The VIN is no use to us, but we do like to know the manufacture year of your vehicle.

KEY MATERIAL

Silca-brand keys are made of a special alloy (usually described as nickel-silver) that's strong and durable but not super-hard steel as are the original keys, so they're gentler on your locks.

WARRANTY

Many years of experience and the latest high-technology computer controlled equipment ensures that your new keys are cut with great precision to the original specifications. We are very confident that our keys will work well in your locks and we offer a substantial warranty.

The most likely problem with the Pebra type of locks/keys is insufficient lubrication. For example: if a lock has used only an original valet key for many years and then a new master key doesn't turn. Lubrication will fix it. (See the Keys4Classics.com website or ask for our "lock lubrication tips" to be emailed to you).

In fact- our replacement keys often work better than the originals because of the "easy-glide" geometry of the dimple cuts, not so abrupt as some originals, and easier on a lock's internal parts.

We have very extensive experience with the uncommon Pebra key type and our keys are cut on the latest high-technology computerized CNC-milling equipment for precision and accuracy. We confidently guarantee our decoding, keys and cutting. We work hard to ensure that you can have the pleasure of using your classic for many years to come.

Disclaimer: Our "full" warranty applies to replacement keys made by decoding original keys in good condition. A more limited warranty applies where you have supplied photos of a faulty, copied or hand-made key or where there is apparent evidence (usually from your key) of damage or excessive wear to the lock/s. Where we have not seen a photo of a working key we guarantee to cut keys correctly to that code, but that is all. If locks have been replaced, modified or damaged this also is outside our scope and may affect your warranty.

Please note that Pebra locks often require substantial lubrication when fitting new keys, and your ability to do this is a condition of purchase. We provide lubrication notes with your order.
