If you are uncertain as to the key series you require we can inspect the lock, most locks can be opened with a master key if you need open them urgently (within the local area only),
The call out charge for this service is £20 plus VAT, you can then order the keys required from ourselves or fastkeys.
Please bear in mind that even with the correct keys in an old lock it may not operate, if the lock its self is faulty.
Guide to Ordering Keys
Many locks are marked with three figures only and it is essential that we be given further information, in order to establish which Series the keys are cut on.
The numbers will normally appear in full on original keys. If you don't have any, try the keys from similar furniture to see if they have a prefix.
If the keys fit into the lock (without turning) then the prefix will almost certainly be the same.
The locks on most makes of Filing Cabinets are generally numbered from 201 to 400 for which the prefix is 92.
Wherever possible, please state -
Name of lock or key manufacturer as indicated on key or lock.
Numbers in full plus any serial letters appearing before or after the numbers.
Type of furniture, i.e. pedestal, filing cabinet, locker etc.
Make of furniture.
Please note that Keys are cut "To Order" and as such we do not hold stock and cannot accept the return of keys that have been incorrectly ordered.
