    Default Boat cabin lock.

    Hi all,

    Help.... I'm trying to fit keys to this T handle lock from a Grenfell boat cabin.

    I can't disassemble it, can't impression it, and can't pick it.

    has 5 pin tumblers with rounded bottoms.

    taking the set screw out doesn't accomplish anything.

    I think it must screw together somewhere but because it has
    all been chromed I can't tell where.

    Looking into the set screw hole I can see a relief cut into the plug
    both above and below the screw so I think that would allow the
    key to turn only a quarter turn in each direction.

    I don't have the rest of the lock.

    Just wondering if anyone has ever fit a key or could offer any advise
    on how to get it apart or fit a key.

    The blank I used was for an arco bank bag I think.....ilco 1131R but
    modified considerably...shortened, lowered, new shoulder created
    farther along the blade from the original, lower orig shld stop ground off.

    I hope I can get these pics to load.

    Thanks for any help.
    Tom
