I suspect the answer is "it depends". There is a strong chance that some of the locks are of the old "FP" and "FS" series produced years back by Wilmot Breedon. These are still available providing, of course, you know the number of them. In some applications, such as my old Austin A35, the number was stamped on the barrel for all to see: not great for security but particularly useful in situations such as this. Production of this and other series of locks were taken over by Weston Body Hardware (WBH) located in my home town of Redditch. See their website [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] . There are other specialists for these old keys too such as this outfit: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Hope this helps,

I think if you took the locks off a locksmith would be able to identify the keys.

When you want the barrels out they wont, when you dont want them to come out they do (as I have found on our underfloor locker!)
