F235 Hatch Board Barrel Lock Key

Many have asked about the availability of a replacement key for their hatch locks. Beneteau DID offer the blank at $18 or so if you want to duplicate the original square key, though current availability is unknown. On the other hand, you can also go to a locksmith and get a key made from the AP5 blank. It's probably a good idea to have a backup for obvious reasons. While it's not the classic looking square key, it works - nice to know we have this option. NOTE: Bring your lock and spare key along with you as the AP5 blank is not always a perfect match. Also, for best results, a real Locksmith is preferable to Lowe's/Home Depot etc.

UPDATE 6/07: Further sleuthing points to an even more close copy Stateside with the ilco DM21 blank.  The original key was actually a CAS-CISMA blank.  Silca makes a similar blank, called either a CIS1 or a CIS3.

Boudewijn Neijens made a copy of his original key in EU using a DOM 2C blank, part number 24.03.24 002 0. And ilco DOES have a similar blank with the DM21. The only difference with the ilco blank is I believe it's not as heavy a key (and is silver).
