- No reason I can think of for having different door and ignition keys.
-
- However, I can think of a couple very good reasons for having a
- different key for the (trunk+glovebox) than for the (door+ignition).
- In particular, the need for protecting the contents of your trunk
- (luggage, Christmas gifts, dead bodies in transport) and of your glovebox
- (vehicle registration, garage door opener, handguns) from possibly
- dishonest parking lot attendants, auto shop personel, and others who
- may be temporarily entrusted with your vehicle.
-
- So there IS a good reason to have two different keys.
-
- However, The Question remains: Which ones and why.
