I got mine cut at a locksmith in Errol st north melbourne, said it'll cost you $10, replied to say it's a shitload cheaper than hgetting a lsmith out f I lose it :)

Assuming it has no electronics involved I would have tohught you could get it cut pretymuch anywhere

I got mine cut at bunnings. just make sure when they cut it that if it has a dodgy side to the key they dont use that as the master side for the copying (i had that happen to me, absolutely brilliant job that did too!.
