Anyway to attach two pieces of a key long enough to get a new one recut?

I'm sure there are some and any good tech will have one.

That would be one worn key.

They probably have the depths somewhere, if not they could get them, if they wanted to. As far as that goes they can originate so all they would really need to do is measure a known cut on a key they originate to figure it out.

To make sure everything is correct, the vehicle OWNER can go into the dealer with the title and proper ID and get the key code for this vehicle. No charge for this from the dealer.

With this in hand, along with the broken key, then go to a locksmith. The locksmith can "verify" the VATS value before cutting the key. They can also "verify" the cuts on the key by cross referencing with the cuts from the code. By doing this, the posibility of any mistakes can be eliminated.

If the original is worn and hard to decode, another thing that can be done without doing the above is code cutting a replacement key on a B62. This can then be tested to see if the lock turns before actually cutting on a VATS blank. From experience, I would make an estimated guess that the cut in space 1 or 2 is a 5 depth. Couple this with a worn key and soon you usually have a broken key.
