Original door handle need key
 

Is there a good place to send an original (1930 Tudor) door handle to have a key made? I don't see any numbers on the shaft. Thanks for any leads:)

I have used Bulger safe and Lock here in Seattle on my pickup and many other vehicles. I highly recommend them.

Try A & L. Their contact is on a sticky above. Usually you don't need to send the handle. Their work is the finest.

May I hitch a ride on this thread? I have the same problem on my car, a 'May '28 Tudor. I am assuming that the handle is original. I have looked at the blanks on the Model A suppliers' websites and they say their blanks are for "late '28" and newer cars. I also noticed that some of the blanks shown are opposite to each other. At about $14 they are not inexpensive enough to buy one of each and try them. Any ideas?
Thanks.

P.s. the photo somehow was sent upsidedown.

Keys until March 1928 had a FORD script none thereafter.

They only sell original looking keys used after March 1928

If you have the Judging Standards check area 6-4

ModAfan your handle looks to be an original with the non removable cylinder . your key number should be on the shaft.

Call John Holland 330-483-3896 in Ohio. Your tumbler looks like it uses a Crown key. He has those blanks.

I have used this man several times. He is listed on the MAFCA WEB site. Excellent work.
Sorry I do not have his phone number. Perhaps another 'Barner will have it.

Any good locksmith can make a key for it even without numbers, mine did. Works fine.

If you find a key number, post it. I have 4 old Model A keys with numbers.

Bob, he restored a pop-out for one of our club members about 6 weeks ago.

I have used Dick Crabtree, (605) 487-7229 or (281) 615-2261 [email protected]

Dick has done my Model A and Early V-8 lock work for years. He is very knowledgeable and his work is outstanding. Very fast turn-around time and reasonably priced. He also does a great job on Pop-Out Ignition Switches. He will key the door lock to fit the ignition as it should be.

This is my opinion and experience.

Besides A & L, The Keyman, made one for me via a photograph. Cost for two keys shipped was $ 51 dollars. Wayne
