Gearbox lock key

Hi Men

I want to install an original gear box Yale lock on a 1920's HSS gearbox. However I don't have a key for it. Now, from previous experience, I know that a locksmith can "have a poke around in such a lock" and make a key that will work for it.  But,  again from previous experience, I've found that keys made this way can be a bit "hit & miss" and don't work as well as those cut straight from an original key code. So I'd prefer to get a key for the lock I want to install cut from code. The code is HM 675.

No locksmith here in NZ still has such code. So is there anyone in your country who still has on record what this code is and therefore could cut a Yale HM 675 key no problem from that record. ?   If so can you send me their contact details?  Or perhaps you will be so kind as to have the HM 675 key cut by them for me. I have a paypal account so can cover any costs you incur by reinbursing you using that.  And I have both a UK and USA shipping address for you to forward the key to. Please let me know if you can help me in any way.

Thank you

    Douglas is also a AACA member and attends Hershey Meet every October.

    I called him, and he has the books with numbers for your lock.

    The prices of some others are much more money.
