- Problem
- The box truck in Wyandotte needed keys originated from scratch — not a spare copied from a working original.
- Diagnosis
- This is a cutaway / box truck, not a Volvo or Freightliner semi. Origination still happens at the vehicle: generate the bitting, cut the keys, and confirm they turn and work.
- Work
- Identify the Ford box-truck keyway on site in Wyandotte.
- Originate two keys from scratch.
- Test both keys in the locks before leaving.
- Result
- Two working keys for the Ford box truck.
