    See attached for stamping on plate of Q15 key type. Became much easier fitting keys to locks once I figure that stamps were numbering lock in the house but type of key for the lock. :D

    No disrespect intended, but that part of the lock is properly known as the front.
    front n. the portion of a lock which provides the means of mounting the locking device to the edge of the door*
