Farmall Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Family lost the old key to the smokehouse (1700's or early 1800s's) where the freezer and tools were! Locksmiths couldn't make the key as it was too large...so a family friend who was a hobbyist blacksmith made the key.http://www.wset.com/...-key?hpt=us_bn8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will. K. Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 They should have had two made so the next time the key gets lost they have an extra as back-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsShip Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The lock key was a simple square? how would you know that? All the old skeleton keys i've scene have some sort of pattern to them. Hmm...Now i need to find an old lock and see what's in there.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Miller Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I did a job like that about 6 or 7 years ago. Took a few hours to forge the key. Big difference was I got paid $250 to do it. Learning how to make a key when you have never done it before is hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
