Billy_smith Posted May 20, 2010 Report Posted May 20, 2010 Keys - I have recently purchased a mk1 escort project and it has no door keys. Now i have a good set of matching door barrels, but is it true if i take these to a good locksmith he can make me a set of keys for them? Please can everyone give me any contacts, recomendations or ways they've got around this please thank you
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted May 20, 2010 Report Posted May 20, 2010 I remember many years ago my dad got new keys for an orion by writing down a number off the barrell and taking it to the locksmith. I dont know if there are any details on the mk1 locks tho mate?
Billy_smith Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Posted May 20, 2010 Hmmm cheers mate, i've heard that aswell but ive also heard they can count the rings or sumthing? ah well thanks for the info and i'll c wot everyone else sais. Hows that new mk2 of urs?
Savvi Posted May 20, 2010 Report Posted May 20, 2010 A good Old Skool locksmith can make some keys for you. I have a guy local to me that has done it in the past for me.

Mr Day Posted May 22, 2010 Report Posted May 22, 2010 GT_Lenny,i'm not far from you,thing is i didnt get any door/boot lock keys with my escort,i currently get in my boot with a morris marina key,ha Would your mate be able to cut a new key (blank) to fit the locks or does he just tamper with the barrels to make them fit excisting keys?
