Hi all,
this is my first post here. I will be trying to unlock an old (early XIX cent) strong-box. It has 3 large keyholes for warded locks. The keys must be female, i.e. they have a hole in the shaft for the corresponding peg in the keyhole.
I'll try the impression method, covering the blank with plasticine or soot, then filing etc.
But I need suitable blanks. Non-female blanks would be easy to make, just filing and a lot of elbow's grease...
Any suggestion about who sells these female blanks (different measures) or even better how you make them DIY ?
I guess I should buy a welding-brazing equipment for that.
