Keys but no clue what they could go to

Postby Dmoore13 » 21 Jun 2011 20:23

Alright so I have these two keys and I can't figure out what they would go to. They aren't common keys so that should at least help some.

(I couldnt upload the pictures here so I just had Imageshack host them)

The first, the one with the square cuts is for a laminated Masterlock brand padlock.

The second, with the two prongs is probably more of a tool than an key for opening a paper towel dispenser or toilet paper holder in a commercial restroom.

The first one defiantly looks like it goes to a warded masterlock.

Second one, not sure about.

@Dmoore13:

As everyone here agrees, the first key is for a laminated Master brand padlock(s) that use the warded type key...

The second "key" is for Baywest model bathroom dispensers for paper towels, toilet paper, etc...

Did you find a set of keys that once belonged (or should still belong to) the janitor ?
