Grandfather clock door locks

Postby Servalite6354 » 24 Jan 2024 19:32

I recently acquired a nice old grandfather clock. It has a door to access the clock face, and one for the pendulum/weights. Each has a lock, but no key.

I'd like to find a key or keys that will work the existing hardware, to keep the rest of the clock original. My local locksmith tried a few keys that almost fit, but didn't have one that was close enough.

Any ideas on where I can find keys that fit these?
The first one is an Eagle Brand:

Ended up just buying one of these 20 key sets - found a key that worked each these locks!

Nice find, thank you for taking the time to follow up and glad you got working keys for both locks!

Have a good one,
