Clocks, Watches/Lost Key

Advertisement


Question
During a recent move the key to my 31-day Kassel Grandfather Clock was lost.  How can I determine the size of the key so I can order another one.  I thought about purchasing a universal key, but I have no idea if the size is odd or even.  Any suggestions?

Answer
If it's a Korean made clock I should use a size 6 key, 3.75mm.
