Jett is sending in his lock set for restoration. He has some used parts and some NOS. He would like a matched restored lock set. He suggested starting a thread. So, here we go.
This first picture Jett took prior to shipping. We will keep updating the thread as the work progresses. Attached image(s) |

If you have a keen eye you can read a key like any professional locksmith. (and Jett (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
Eyeballing from the side grooves you can 'see' the depths of the cuts. A locksmith can read the key and code cut a new key. However.....and this is the big however, the tumblers are equally worn and need to be replaced too, or you've wasted money. Jett is doing a real service to overhaul these locks. Attached image(s) |
