 I just did a quick sear for Ford Focus Key on the US eBay site and found
several PATS key blanks.

PS--Make that a quick "search". Blanks look to be in the $10-15 range.

 Another thought is to check at local hardware stores. The last time I
walked by the key area at my local ACE hardware store, I saw a device on the
counter. You put your key in the device and it identifies the kind of
transponder that you have. They then will sell and cut for you a matching
key leaving only the programming for you to do. I admit I haven't tried this
ACE hardware method as I bought a couple blanks for my '01 ZTS on eBay, had
them cut, then programmed them myself since I had two original working keys.

Craig,
    I'd like to get a spare key. How do I program it myself?
Thanks,

 Many of the folks selling keys on eBay will include an instruction sheet.
Alternately (at least for my '01 model Focus) your Focus Owners Manual
should give the procedure as well. I found this on the web as well which is
probably the same procedure:

You need 2 working keys to program it your self. My 2004 procedure is

get your 2 programmed keys.

Here are th einx from my manual

1. Insert a previously programmed
coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second, but no
more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position.
4. Remove the previously programmed coded key from the ignition.
5. Within ten seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key,
insert the other previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
6. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second but not
more than 10 seconds.
7. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position.
8. Remove the previously programmed coded key from the ignition.
9. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed coded
key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the ignition.
10. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second, but no
more than 10 seconds.
11. Your new, unprogrammed key is now programmed.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle's
engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out.
If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your
vehicle's engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off, or
stay
on for more than three seconds. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to
your dealer to have the new key(s) programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure
from step 1 for each additional key.

Try eBay Item number: 300016749413

mykeyless is the guy that I bought my 2002 Ford Focus and 2000 Mazda 626
transponder keys and fobs from.  The Focus and all of the fobs for both cars
were a piece of cake!

I paid $20 for a PATS key from my Ford dealer and they cut it to fit. I
programmed it myself since I had 2 working keys already
