Auto Key Wizard Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Do you have a scope? If so, can you read how many levers are in the lock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Get one from SKS, this one's not expensive & very useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phill Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 There are no levers its a simple ward cut, when the key turns it pulls back a sprung latch. Opened one and made a key for it a few months back. They were given out by the post office aswell, I think around 1930's as a savings sceme. You filled it up and took it to the local post office who had a universal key. I used a flat steel if I remember correctly, the key is very basic something like B&G (HD B547) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phill Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Sorry Bonus, the post office one I opened deffinately wasn't a ZA lock, although I fashioned a working key from a flat steel. The one I done was a sprung latch that snaped closed without the need of a key. How much did you charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auto Key Wizard Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 definitely wasn't a ZA lock Not a L&F ZA either as 76393 isn't in any series probably a freebie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
