MasterLock codes

Postby TallFx » 23 May 2006 21:46

I have a set of Master Lock No3 padlocks for which I lost the key, I have the Key number (number stamped on keys) recorded, but how can I find out the actual Bitting of the key. I know that Masterlock key numbers don't directly match up to the depth codes. Is there anyway to decode the key number?

Although any basic code program would be able to give you the bittings, you will probably have to go to a local locksmith instead since it is unlikely that anyone on this board would give out direct codes to an anonymous user. There simply would be no way of verifying authenticity.

That said, would you care to elaborate on the current status of these locks and why you lost all of the keys?

Take these keys to a locksmith and have new keys cut. We do not offer code cut info in the open forums.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
