Robert Sussex Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hello again. I now have an FP713 key which goes in the locks but will not turn. Have also tried FA and FS keys but these do not go in. As previously mentioned the locks have 713 stamped on the shafts. Any more ideas or advice would be great. Thanks Robert.

Lebro Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Perhaps the lock has worn to the point that the correct key no longer works ? Another posibility is that someone has been there before you & changed the tumblers in the lock to match a different key. (something I have done in the past more than once) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) possible that the brass plates in barrel are stuck. Remove barrel and soak in diesel or the like and check the blades move on the springs. When the key is inserted into the barrel all the blades should be flush allowing the barrel to rotate.
