Question
They key has stripped on my Gilbert Wall Clock #3022. How do I determine the size of the replacement key. I bought this clock at an estate sale and the key may have been mis-sized to begin with. It is brass and stamped Waterbury Clock Co. Thanks for your attention.
Hi Erik, I'm going to do a little educated guessing on this. Based on experience and some literature I would bet that the Waterbury key was a size 6 (3.75mm). I'm pretty sure that a Gilbert key would be the same size. I sell keys on my website. If you would like to purchase one go to the following link and use the dropdown menu to choose the size.
