Question Andy - have a Shaw-Walker safe with a Yale lock, but no key. The number on the lock is B7S51, is there any way of getting a key for this lock, or, just make sure drawers are never locked?
Thanks, Don
Answer Don,
If the safe/cabinet is open, you should be able to remove the lock. You can then take it to a locksmith to either have a key made or possibly obtain a replacement lock. I have the codes for this lock and could cut you a key for your lock, but the only way I can guarantee the key is by having the lock in hand.
If you don't have a local locksmith that can do it let me know. Cost for a pair of keys is $25 plus $5 shipping & handling.
Remember that I don't guarantee if I don't have the lock.
