    Default Need more help from the Experts. Yale Lever Tumbler

    Hi Everyone.

    I'm trying to find keys for my collection of Yale Lever Tumbler padlocks. I can pick them open and decode them but
    I'm having trouble finding key blanks or used keys for them. I'm happy to pay or trade for them. I'm watching Ebay
    but no luck so far.



    Also, I'm looking for a vintage Yale service kit and a vintage Yale service manual that describes how to disassemble
    and service these locks.


    Thanks so much,
    Rick Guenther

    Default Searching for keys for Yale Lever Tumbler padlocks and manual pages for Yale Jr. lock

    1.) Here is a picture of a Yale Lever Tumbler Lock and the type of key or key blank I'm looking for.
    I have 2 sizes of this lock design; 2.6 and 2.2 inches high including shackle.
    (Even if the key is already cut I may still be able to make it work.)

    2.) I'm looking for Yale manual pages for this Yale Jr. lock with this unusual locking mechanism .

    Default Key blanks/used keys.

    Hello Scott,
    Thank you for taking the time to look for them.
    If you have some blanks you will part with I am happy to pay
    the shipping plus key cost. I also could trade for some of
    my locks.

    The page is from Catalog No. 27. The copyright is 1929. However, if you look carefully at the page showing the pin tumbler Yale Junior padlock, you will see February 1931 at the bottom of the page. I guess this must have been an addition.
