Code lookup request

Postby demux » 1 Jan 2025 9:43

If anyone has a membership for lockcodes or a similar service and is willing to look up a code for me, I'd appreciate it. Recently came across an old desk lock that I can pick easily enough, but I'd like to cut a key for it. It's fairly old and has obviously been well used, so I'd prefer to avoid impressioning it if I can just get the code.

If you're able to help please PM me and I'll send you the details and serial number. Thanks.

Many thanks to Raymond for his help tracking down the code information I was looking for. Blanks for this lock came in yesterday, and I was able to cut a working key with the information he provided after work. Based on the info provided it appears this lock is significantly older than I thought, so I ended up having to cut the key about .003" higher than spec and about .005" closer to the shoulder to compensate for wear on the pins and the face, but with that it's working extremely smooth. It's wonderful to be able to breathe some new life into an old lock. :-)
