Trunk locks

My 1931 Tudor is in need of a key or new trunk locks. Trunk to be redone as it has a couple of pin holes in the bottom. Locks are riveted to the metal trunk. Any idea other than a lock smith..

Get some of the people in your local club to let you try their keys. Likely only a handful of mfrs, and key combinations.

You are a local chapter member, right?

I belong to a local club but have not seen anyone with a metal trunk like this one.

Drill the rivets and take one of the latches off. Go to a hardware store or Walmart and look for something close to what you have.
As an alternative, you can use small brass padlock hasp's. I see lots of that including my own.

Snyder's has replacement trunk locks. May check to see if they are the same as your. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...7367&cat=41731

Restoration Supplies also carries various trunk latches and parts. https://restorationstuff.com/shop/#fb0=55

My trunk is like yours and I also desired a key. During our excursions while on the MAFCA national tour this past summer, we would stop at antique stores. One such store had a bowl of skeleton keys and I scored.

I think I took mine to a shop to have it matched, it is a skeleton key.
