Old Yale Key ID

[Party Marmalade]

Hi all,

I'm having problems identifying this Yale key. I thought a 1A would bypass it given how old the lock is, but won't go in.

Any ideas apart from supplying a new cylinder please?

Maybe try u5d slim keyline .

What’s the code on the key I’ve tried zooming in but can only make out the last 2 5’s

I could only make out 28155 Graham. The customer had 2 different keys this one more legible 178969.

Thanks for looking into this for me

Looks like an old 6B to me

So worn it's difficult to tell.

is the br a clue ? British rail had a yale key that fit all I think signal boxes, as british waterways had 1 that fitted every lock gate If I remember correct it was one of the yale security keys, sorry thats all i can remember.

I thought British Rail too but didn’t see anything when I did a quick search

The keys are actually being used on wooden garage and workshop doors, so could have been acquired from anywhere before the new owner took them on. I advised the customer may want to consider a security update. 

I ran off an old RST 6B I had kicking around just to try.

Thanks for your help chaps
