  10. I have a key that looks something like this:
  11.                _                          ___|
  12.     __   _    / \    _                   /
  13.    /  \_/ \_/     \_/ \   __   __      /
  14.  /                     \_/  \_/   \__/
  15. |
  16.  \__________________________________________
  17.                                             \
  18.  
  19. and I'd like to use it in a lock that needs it to "look" like this:
  20.                _                          ___|
  21.     __   _    / \    _      ____         /
  22.    /  \_/ \_/     \_/ \    /    \      /
  23.  /                     \_/        \__/

  28.                              ^               |
  29.                   Only difference is here.
  30.  
  31. The existing key doesn't have any "extra" metal, it is just deficient in the
  32. indiciated position.  Can I use a properly shaped chunk of wood or other
  33. material and push it in with the key, is there a better way?
  34.  
  35. Thanks all.
