Keys on some 1200s in some markets are matched: One key opens all doors as well as operates the ignition. In other markets there is a different key for the ignition. Also there are left-hand and right-hand keys that otherwise look identical.

Usage
1972 USA Owners manual (see pages 3-4 for key information):
Your Datsun is equipped with an ignition key warning buzzer system.
Key Types
Datsun 1200 used one of Two key types: VOSS single-sided or VOSS double-sided (reversible) keys.
OVAL KEYS
VOSS KEY00-00034/VH1000 single-sided
VOSS-type keys (KEY00-00034) were made by Kanto Seiki under license of VOSS of Germany. These were used starting around 1969. The former WASO type (KEY00-00028) were made by Kanto Seiki under license of WASO of Sweden. The only real difference is the length. The VOSS keys are shorter, which means WASO key won't fit in the VOSS cylinder. The longer VOSS keys should never be used in a WASO cylinder, as it may lock the steering incorrectly.
Use only VOSS type for Datsun 1200
Nissan Motor Keys
Datsun 1200 used VOSS Double-sided keys with the "Nissan Motor" text and "N" symbol.
VOSS KEY00-00035 double-sided
VOSS double-sided newer shape used in JDM (Sunny Truck) and SADM (Bakkie)
Do not confuse Datsun 1200 keys with these single-sided VOSS keys. They also had "Nissan Motor" text and "N" symbol, but were used by earlier models e.g. Datsun Roadster.

Lock Cylinder
For USA 1200s, JDM GL and GX, and newer JDM 1200 pickups, the ignition switch bolts to the back of the key cylinder. The Ignition Switch is not strictly part of the Lock Cylinder, but bolts to it.
Fitment
Left: 1972-1973, Right: 1971. Note addition of ACC position.
1972 USA Owners manual (see page 11):
The "ACC" (accessories) position of the switch permits you to use all of the electrical accessories.

Dimensions
Length
Nissan keys come in various lengths. The original Datsun 1200 keys were the short length.
- Short: ~31 mm groove length
- 2.0 inch overall
- Original 1200 reversible key length
- Medium: ~38 mm groove length
- 2.4 inch overall
- Used by Datsuns & Nissans 1974-1981, Subaru, and Mazda Cosmo
- Long: ~46 mm groove length
- 2.7 inch overall
Width
Width is 8.9 mm at the point where the grooves start.
Width of the teeth area is 7.1 mm
Center groove width: 2.3 mm
Outside groove width: about 1.0 mm minimum (some keys have it machined all the way out, that is to say a wider groove)
Right-Handed vs Left-Handed
The reversible key came in left-hand and right-hand versions. Datsun 1200 used only the left-hand style.
- KEY00-00035 left groove
- 2nd groove is left of center groove
-
- 2nd groove is right of center groove
-
Aftermarket Keys
Two styles were used (center, right). The newer, longer one (left) will work, but is not the original style.
The little groove diagrams below the photos are for the keylock, so they are the reverse of the actual key.
WARNING: The first key is right-handed, while the second is left-handed. Each key comes either way. Be sure to purchase the correct one for your 1200 locks.
Interesting that some 1200s (newer utes?) came with two different keys originally. The 1971-1973 north american models came with single key for ignition, doors and trunk.
Oval Single-Sided Nissan Ignition Key
This is the earlier style for 1968-1971 Datsun, Mazda before the double-sided keys were used. This was used by 1971 USA 1200.
- Nissan: KEY00-00034 (Key-Blank for Voss Type Steering Lock)
- Ilco/Ilco-Kaba: DA20
NOT THIS Waso:
- Waso Type FH
- Taylor: D80K
Short Double-Sided Nissan Key
This was used by 1972-up 1200s for the ignition switch.
- Nissan: KEY00-00035 (Key-Blank for Voss Type)
- Ilco: 62DV
- Dominion: DT17
- Taylor: X10

Key Code
When your key gets worn down too far, making a copy results in a poorly-working new key. Instead, have a new key cut from the original key code.
- In Australia, the key cut number was stamped directly into the original keys
- In USA, the key cut number was penciled onto the inside of the glove box door:
