That surprises me. In my experience, a key that old, cut from a code, usually will not work. Basically you are cutting a key for a brand new cylinder. You absolutely run the risk of malfunctions such as the key failing to go in, or worse, failing to come out. Best bet is to cut the new key to the old key. The new key will match the worn tumblers better. Also make sure the key gets wire-wheeled very thoroughly before the first use.
