Many of the key-blanks now are aluminum. You need to make-sure the locksmith has brass or steel blanks. I would only use aluminum for a temporary key to only use until I could get a brass or steel one made. I've cracked several over the years; you have to periodically look at your Saab ignition key for cracks or any twisting. If you see either, go to your back-up set and have a new-one made.
When I get a car, the newest or best-condition set gets used to make a copy, and them the original goes into my key-box. Keys "wear", and if you make the copy from the worn-one, the "new"-key will already have the teeth pre-maturely-worn.
