We are locksmiths need help identifying a wafer lock

Postby dmr3073 » 13 Feb 2012 11:32

We are at a loss, we have a wafer lock (5 wafers) that needs to go back onto a jewelry case, glass case but the slding door is wood and it screws onto the door with 4 screws. They have lost there keys and we have tried every key blank we have and had no lock, thought it might of been an ES8 but will not fit in. Tried the Y11 and it will go in but it kinda goes in at an angle. And have tried a long list of others. The lock has no numbers or markings or names or anything anywhere. So now we hope someone might have an insight into this for us. I am going to try and upload 4 photos to see if this will help identify the lock and maybe a blank for it.
Thank you all so much for your time. For the most part we can find a code or something on the wafer locks but this has us stumped. The case it comes off of doesnt even have a name on it that we can find.
Thank you all for your help and responses. As we will keep trying.

P.S. I tried to upload photos but get message stating board attachment quoto has been reached. So if know how i can attach a photo or 2 that would be great, as I know that would help as well.

Unless you have lots of these locks just replace them. They look like cheap Chinese imports. We buy them through a company called Delta in NY.

I replaced 44 of these yesterday. The customer had one bad lock perhaps two, but wanted the replacements to be KAA with what they already have. Unfortunately the manufacturer changed keyways and so they shipped 44 new locks to replace them all!

There are hundreds of factories in China churning out near identical locks.
The centres are often slightly different and locks from the same factory may not use the same key profile over time.
As long as the cylinder diameter is 18mm you will find alternatives.
I can get new Hafele branded locks cheaper than it is worth making keys for. They will always use the same profile and supply KA on next day delivery.

Thank you all so much, That is what will be doing. We spoke with the store owner and they agreed to just have them replaced.
I appreciate all your help with this.
