Worth it to get keys made for a few old safe deposit locks?
Hey KP crew, I have several safe deposit doors with Mosler 3175 locks still on them. They came from a bank that was demolished, and they were all going to the dump! I tried to get the time lock off of the vault door, but was too late, they had already destroyed the door with an excavator
My question: who would be willing to make keys for a few of them, and is it even worth it? I'm not good enough with lever locks to attempt it. These would be just for my collection, I may mount one of the doors on a panel, as a display. I'd also be willing to throw in a lock or two (with or without door) on top of payment.
Let me know if it's something that would be easy to do, or if it will be too cost prohibitive.
I've determined that these are what Mosler calls "rapidset", and you can apparently change the guard key with a tool. Looks like the levers for the guard key basically get bent by the new key to fit it. Looks like they are prone to problems, if you put the wrong key in!
