Getting a Key Made

My bike only came with one key (bought used). So I need to get a key made.
I went to Walmart and the kid in automotive makes me a key. I go out and try it and it dont even go in. So I go back in and he says its the closest blank he had :cuss: and refunds my money.
So I try the local locksmith and he makes me one and it goes in smooth but wont turn. I take it back to him, he throws it in the trash and makes another. Same deal with 2nd key. It appeared that he was grinding it down too far but he said that the machine controls how far he grinds down the key. Locksmith refunds my money.
So now I try a hardware store. This guy makes me a key and I take it home since I have my truck this time. The key goes in and with a lot of wiggling I can get it to turn either way. I'm keeping this one but what am I missing. They cant all be wrong. :??:
