key for yale lock

[mettler]

The Majestic Trunk Key Book shows hand drawn profiles of the various keys without dimensions. It was a rather arcane method of originating keys by code but apparently common practice at the time. LH6 is found in Vol. 1 on pg. 39 while LH6SS is on pg. 45 of Vol. 2. The bittings appear to be similar, but not identical. I have attached images of both for what they are worth. I respectfully suggest you follow my earlier advice and have a competent locksmith source of the correct blank and make a key to fit the lock based upon the silhouette.

I got my key - an LH5SS. It is the correct shape-factor. Its in the key slot, but only goes in half way. Is there anyway you can upload a picture of the LH5SS? I can then print them and put them on top of each other to see what kind of mods I need to make to the 5SS.

thanks
