<VV> I have a problem that I hope you might help me with.

If you have the correct key (only one on EMs), then call Larry Claypool with 
that number.  He has the key code book, blanks, and the tool to punch new 
keys.  But, I wonder if you really have the correct key?  I THINK that the 
key number will be found on one of the door tumblers, so that would be 
another (probably less expensive) way to get the correct key made.  He is 
normally in his shop till around 4:30PM on Saturdays.
