    Series 80 (except limo) used a single key for everything (ignition, door lock, and spare tire) from the factory, and probably S81 is the same.

    Key blank was easily available 10 yrs ago at a GOOD local locksmith–“Yale Junior” if I recall correctly. Because a then-young nephew lost my only key, I drove my S80 to the locksmith, and he manipulated the door lock cylinder and got a key that worked in 30 minutes. If you are pulling the ignition & light combination switch anyway (which might be a good bit of work), you might leave a combo switch at a local locksmith.

    I opened up the ignition switch / coil on our 1928 Series 81 a number of years ago and found a code number inside. Took it to a good full service locksmith. The code inside was the key code, $ 2 and we had a key!
