Simes Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I have been tasked with replacing barrels to some lockers to all use the same key. Any ideas where I start or if it's likely to be possible? I tried L&F and they were of no help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Lowe and fletcher are absolutely useless. They also quote 4-6 weeks for everything but you would be lucky to see anything within 12 weeks. Try Camlock systems they may be aboe to help.

Count Muppet Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 You could re key them all using existing wafers. If they want the same key for all, it’s probably for low security. there’s probably only 3 heights for each key. If you take them all out you could end up with a similar number of each wafer. Maybe you could miss 1 or 2 wafers from each lock if needed? Trev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobblers Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Why not just supply a master key, if it's possible for the code series involved? Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not that simple with double sided locks trust me, there are usually left hand and right hand wafers to contend with as well as the depths.

Anyone got the skills or can help with a master key? That would be a simple and suitable solution if anyone knows how to. I can supply the key numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andi, Paul and Stuart are all great lads. Is there a direct line number for them? Every time I ring it goes through to the Accounts department so they can take a message (at least that was the case on Friday). Must be infuriating for them!
