I would like to have some duplicate keys made and was wondering if Briggs and Stratton supplied all blanks for the stepdown Hudsons. There are lots of choices for Hudson blanks as shown on the Key Men website
(http://key-men.com/index.html) but need to know what is correct for the '53 Hornet. Also, the round key is for door/ignition and octagon key for trunk/glovebox, correct? Thanks for your time. ArtS.

Good Morning Art,

With my '52 Hornet I received original set of Briggs & Stratton keys and yes the round key is for door/ignition and octagon key for trunk/glovebox.

Have a good day,
