Default Door Key

I did not get a door key with the purchase of my Pickup. The handle has a nomber on it and I am wondering if there is a way I can get a key for it based on that number.
Thanks

Bob

I took a fewdoor locks to the key shop (not the key cutter at WalMart) and they set me up with keys for each. Some, the numbers worked, others they used their "magic," but they were able to key all of them.

Is the number on the shaft or on the face of the Cylinder?

Do you have a picture?

Thanks

I can cut a key from code as long as the code is a valid one correct for your year and model Ford. What is the code stamped on the lock?

Hi Flathead
That would be great ! The code on the key is LL155,, 1930 Model A Pickup.
Is that enough information?
Thanks

Bob

Sorry,
That one isn't covered in my book. May be an early replacement.

Hey you guys are amazing ...getting this guy fitted with a working key.

To each his own, but it puzzles me that one could feel any sense of security with a filing cabinet cylinder that displays the code in open view. Especially on something as sought after, and easy to part out, as a Model A.
...it's almost like writing your combination on the safe door.

I would urge this guy to purchase a good used original stainless door handle (they're still plentifull)....and have it rekeyed properly.

I do not see the problem. My Dad always told me that a lock was to keep honost people honest. If someone is bent on stealing the A that door lock won't stop them.

I am happy with the help I received on the forum and have ordered the key.

Thanks for your concern!

This! It's actually more secure than a Jeep, even with a filing cabinet lock... My 1994 Wrangler had locking doors, but all the windows were zippers And those are more high theft than a Model A Ford.

Bob you & your dad make some valid points. Fact is even if someone had the door key it wouldn't fit the ignition anyways. Have a great day and enjoy your Model A
