Broken key for Evans & Watson floor safe
Hello,
I recently purchased an Evans & Watson floor safe. The previous owner had transported the safe with the only key in the lock, and it shifted during transport and the key snapped off in the lock.
I was able to remove the part of the key that was inside the safe. Thankfully, with a good pair of pliers I can turn the key and lock and unlock the door. But I know this isn't sustainable, and I would love to own at least one complete key for this safe. The challenge I'm having is no one locally can make a copy of the key because there are no suitable blanks available. I do not know if the key is made from brass or bronze. I do not have the means to solder or weld, but I believe I can find someone that does.
I've attached photos of the key, along with the safe for context and reference. Any help or insight into how I can turn this broken key into a whole, functional one would be immensely appreciated! I am happy to provide any more info or photos that may be helpful.
Many thanks!
