    I would try a locksmith. Sometimes hardware stores can make them, but they don t always work right when they duplicate them

    If you just want spares to open the door get them made at a hardware store. Keep the originals in the ignition.

    The door key isnt as critically cut as the ignition.Lowes can do a door key.You may have to wiggle it when you turn the lock but it should work.The best idea Volvo had was a drivers door that only locks with a key.

    Why not go to a Freightliner dealer?
    They have truck parking.
    Plus they don't charge much, usually less than 5 bucks.
