Tail Gait window Problems

[Leebow]

I bought my Bronco and didn't check to see that the key, not the one that starts the truck, worked in the rear key hole. I just tested the window from the dash switch and assumed that the key he gave me was the right one. The key goes in the hole, but it won't turn. Any ideas on how to get a key cut so this very handy function works. Should I go to a locksmith or maybe a dealership?
