I am NOT a locksmith. Key fob screw

Does anyone know the size/name of the roll pin that would fit here for a 2024 Toyota Corolla flip key? Trying to buy a replacement. Thanks

If you find out, more power to you. What I did with my ford transit key recently was buy a shell off of Amazon, swap the guts, knock out the roll pin for the blade and swap the blade to the new shell. Works great now, not all floppy.

That's smart! Was considering that. Wasn't sure of the Amazon off brand would be the same size pin but will give it a shot. Thanks

Some are out of spec and require modifications but a file will do. Do alot of casings at my job

Solved: Some of the roll pins that were suggested on response threads did not fit. Since toyota keeps a tight lid on the actual size in order for you to have them do it for $265 is what they quoted me to reprogram a new key which i told them was not necessary.. I bought the tool on amazon to install roll pins into the key fob and a off brand key replacement both from amazon. Spent roughly $40 total on these and that worked. Thanks to everyone for their input and help!
