Question
Where can I find a key to fit a Linden 31 day wall clock.
This clock is about 30 years old and the key has been lost.
I would like to get one so I can use the clock as it belonged to my father.

Answer
Hi Doris,

Clock keys are available from clock supply houses like Timesavers, Merritts Antiques or Empire Clock.

Your clock most likely takes a 3.75mm key, but may take a different size. The "commercial grade" steel keys are very inexpensive, and you can purchase several sizes and see which fits best. I would recommend starting with a 3.50mm, a 3.75mm and a 4.0mm.
