Key made for a 4 Johnson "Cleveland" Farebox??
I obtained a Johnson "Cleveland" Farebox that did not have the key with it. Is it possible to have a key made for a Chicago 4 Way Lock? Anyone familiar with this that can assist me? I would like to keep everything original on this fare box!
I have taken this lock to two different places and neither of them were able to make a key for it. The second party I took this too has been working on it for some time now and it seems that he has loves the challenge! Great guy to deal with but feel bad that he has spent so much time on it!
The issue appears to be that this is not a true "crucifixion" key. If you look at the two slots at the top of the keyhole they're longer then the bottom ones. Anyone have any experience in making keys for these?

I have two of these, one for the farebox and then there is one on the inside "cashbox". I am assuming the locks are two different keys.
Even if someone has this lock and key for sale I would be interested!
Please email me and thanks!

I don't think going to find the original key blank for it. As I was looking into some key catalog of finding something the may work as may end up have to file it to make it work. In Borkey key catalog go to page 43 and 44 maybe can be it or go to 108 Cruciform key blank. Like I said may have to file it to fit the keyway. The other way only if have money to do this to find a machine shop the will make key blank for it. Otherwise need to keep checking into e-Bay to find these key. If come up with anything new will let you know. This is only of what I found so far. Good Luck..Timothy...

All,
Appreciate the input thus far! I would love to find someone that can make keys for these locks as I think they add to farebox! I also like to keep everything original as possible! I have looked on ebaY for anyone selling these types of locks to no avail! Am I correct in stating that these are referred to as Chicago 4 way locks?
If anyone knows of someone that could make keys for these please let me know. If anyone knows someone selling this type of lock with keys, again, please let me know!
Thanks again!!!

I don't think is Chicage Lock at they never make 4-way keyway. It should be Cleveland 4 way keyway. As making key for it I don't know very much of any machine shop make key in your area that will do it. You may have to check around to find one that will do it or outside of your state. I use to know one guy here that will do it but he retire a long time ago. Just keep looking as it may take time or who know maybe someone here on this forum may know someone does. Good luck...Timoty....

As what Pete said about Mr. Robert the only thing I can think of as he may be taking about the Cleveland 4-Way Padlock that can't be disassembly which requires drilling and/or otherwise defacing the lock.
I could be wrong as I never have see it of what the lock or key look like as only see them in picture. I do believe is may be hard to impression this lock as could see per attached of the way the key look.

Thank for information. The only reason asking for Bob Dix because I know other having same problem with this lock. Zsem was the one trying to get a key make for his lock. I have not heard word from him. I'm sure we all like to get lot of information on this 4-Way Cleveland lock. Wish I could has one and would be fun to learn about this lock. But the harder part there no key blank for it. Who know maybe somewhere along someone can make a key for it.....Timothy.....
