Real Newbie Question

[xorb]

Unless I see the lock I can only say that I would have 2 levers at most. It will be warded, possibly bulleted.

Indeed call a lockie, he should be able to open it with wires. And in theory a master locksmith should be able to measure all the depths, gages, and impression the lock to make a key for you to open the lock. A bit of metal work for the pro, a bit of a blush for the newbie lockie.

that concept by jason jones in the blackbag pandoras box link about bumping lever locks and multilock classic sounds interesting, except that bumping lever locks that old is likely impossible, since in those days, the locking principle most common was strong springs.
