unkown keys

Postby vinnie » 16 Feb 2013 16:41

does anyone know what these keys are for?? the middle one I think is from an instrument case, but the others I have no idea. I found them all on a keychain in my parents basement and they don't know what they're for

The far right key is for a warded packlock or a warded lock. The other ones look like luggage precut keys we have.

A lot of things uses those keys.
They could be for cheap padlocks, jewelry box, diary, china cabinet, luggage, guitar case, gun case, briefcase, small lock box...Many, many things...Talk to your parents about these things, might jog their memories.

luggage of any sort or possibly a small box,
cheap warded padlock,
luggage, dispenser boxes, small boxes, numerous novelty items,

Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool. Wisdom is not just in determining how to do something, but also includes determining whether it should be done at all.

Those are soom cool old heys there. Looks like a combination of wafer lock keys and warded lock keys.

If you find the locks they go to and are not using them any more they should be fairly easy to pick, especially the wafers.

The key on the left is for a lever lock, looks like five levers. As was said above, possibly a jewelry case, or small lock box. Will post some pictures of the kind of lock when I get home.
