I have a Quadra 950 (formerly @joshc’s) which has no key, but I also have a key from another machine (I think it was a Q900 or possibly an ANS700).
Now of course the key doesn’t work in the Quadra. It fits but it doesn’t turn.
I’ve had a look at the barrel and I can’t see any way to open it to remove or adjust the pins.. is there any way to do this? | Posted by: Juror22 on 2024-09-05 19:00:32
Remove it and take it to a locksmith? They may be able to re-key it.
(the service source shows the barrel removed in an exploded view, but doesn't explain how!)
I know it may not be the ultra-low budget route we usually take here, but sometimes the neighborhood shop will surprise you. | Posted by: Big Ben on 2024-09-05 23:22:03
Those locks are cheap, and probably difficult to re-key.
The lock should have a tag consisting of 3 numbers on the cord, this is the key number, it can in theory be used to make a new key. | | 1 |
