Price seems a little high but maybe worth it depending how far you'd need to go
to find a better example.

Find a cheaper locksmith is my vote. $65 is a crazy price to open a simple lock
that you are bringing to them. I could maybe see it if they had to drive out
somewhere.

Here’s the deal based on the EPC:
The key and lock are sold a a unit, meaning they don’t source the key
separately, nor could they identify it. So your choice is to find a cheaper
locksmith, or just spend $50 to buy the whole shebang at the stealership.

I assume you wouldn't want to buy it without seeing it so you would need
to rent locally and haul it both ways, empty if you didn't buy it.

It can be removed , I believe. I was told by a local body shop guy that if it’s
four years or less in age it comes off pretty easily. Older than that and it
tends to get brittle and cracks, making it more labor intensive to remove all
the pieces.

For the copper washer what you're actually doing is annealing it. Copper work
hardens and softens with heat. This is a thing I run into on kerosene lanterns,
there is a flange where the generator meets the lantern body that hardens and,
for some reason, on kerosene lanterns tends to leak. Heat
