Can anyone ID this key?

Postby Silverado » 13 Jun 2017 8:33

I have practically no knowledge in the lever lock department. An associate has asked if I can make or get copies of a skeleton key they have. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there's a specific part number or what. Picture:

What's the number on the other side of the key? That will tell you the indirect bitting code.

here is a Yale YS #28, you can see the central cut is much deeper http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vintage ... 1322675984

Here's a Yale YS #15 http://www.ebay.com/itm/152559894369

A local locksmith may have a wall of these ready for sale, or at least the proper blank to then make a copy of that key on a key machine with a slotter.

Looks like it's a Y&T 152.
I guess that was easier to figure out than I thought it'd be. Thanks Squelch!

just remember that they had different sections.. they had YS, T, etc. so a T 152 may not work, you have to make sure its a YS 152. Corbin had this type of thing with their P keys, they also had their Q keys.

Where did you determine it's a # 152? from the key itself or from a catalog/software?

Thanks!

The opposite side of the key is stamped 152. Now I've got to try and find two of them, and they don't seem easy to find so far lol.

I called the local locksmiths and none of them do those types of keys. I'm in a dead zone.
I also cannot find blanks of that key type anywhere, otherwise I'd order them and file them by hand.

just about all locksmith suppliers carry these blanks.
or just contact Phil at Framon. They took over Blue Dog Keys and will have what you want.
Heck....I have them on my board I think.
Real locksmiths will have or be able to get those keys/blanks easily.
