Door/boot locks but no keys


Recommended Posts

Ive got 4 door locks and a boot lock but no keys for any of them. Suspect that I have two sets of door locks (TR6), seemingly in goodish nick. Boot lock also looks good, again no key.

 

Is there anyway to find out what key fits or replace innards to match a key.

 

Just seems a waste to dump all 5 of them......for the sake of a couple of keys and a bit of skul duggery.....

The three digit key number might be stamped on the lock fingers or barrel...

The other method is to spend an afternoon in the car shop trying keys in the lock.

Check out what keys you have that go in the lock. Single sided or double sided. Then you can target the right key range. FT OR FS etc.

I have a local key/locksmith company who can make keys to fit locks that I give him.

 

I would imagine there is someone closer to you who does it, but if you're struggling let me know and I can either give you their contact details or take your locks to them.

 

Cheers

Have a look at my recent topic on 4A door handles where I re-key some locks.

Original barrels have the key number marked on them but repro ones don't.

 

If all else fails maybe you can sell 'em to me!

4 Keys ! ?...Mine has 2, one that does Ignition and doors, and one that does the Glove Box and the Boot!

 

I've never ever locked mine, as I never saw the point...as anyone can just pop the hood and reach in anyway! :rolleyes:

Hi Robin

 

Sorry but I must of missed this thread but if you want to send me the locks I will cut you the keys to the locks. I am a locksmith/safe engineer and have a business in Bournemouth.

If you are not in a rush I could do them for a few beers in exchange in the future.

PM me if you like.

I have just purchased a TR6 fitted with security type locks but owner had lost keys, any ideas would be appreciated.

Sorry I can't help you with this version (I assume it's a radial cylinder) as I no long have that type of key machine, to be honest you would be better buying a new set from the usual suspects or search for some second hand ones and get keys cut for them.
