    Default Yale desk lock - looking to make/find a key for it

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, so be gentle.

    I have a Yale desk lock, but no key. I'm looking for a way to find out the key profile w/o breaking into the case. The lock is a low-cost stamped brass lock from the 1920's (?) that is swaged together. I suspect the key is flat. The only external mark is "yale" and "1 W 8" on the backing plate.

    Anyone know of a way to find the key profile?

    What a nice website BTW!

    Thanks!

    Don
