A locksmith can make keys for most any lock which has none. The labor cost may exceed the value of the lock in some cases. Without an image it is difficult to determine what might be involved, your best bet would be to take them to a locksmith shop for an estimate and then decide if the cost is justified. The Miller Lock Co. of Philadelphia was in business from 1870-1930 when it was sold to Yale & Towne Mfg. Co. I hope this is helpful.
