Probably a simple question if you know the answer, unfortunately I don't!
My private locks are falling apart on my series 2. Fortunately in attic 1 I have found 2 good condition spare ones. I am not sure if they are series 2 private locks or not but believe they are as they feature the swinging teardrop cover. Unfortunately NO KEYS. I believe I can order new keys. However I am not sure what the key series would be, a friend says they might be FR for a rover door of that era although he is not certain. Secondly having examined one of the locks there appears to be 3 different numbers on it (none FR) At the top of the rear of the barrel the number is a single digit number followed by / and 5 further numbers FOR EXAMPLE 7/42398.
On the bottom of the barrel on the left and right sides are a single letter and a single digit. However on the rear of the teardrop flap there is a further number which is again six digits, the first four being the same as what is on the barrel but the last two different. FOR EXAMPLE 742369. Underneath is the same single letter and digit as there is on the lower part of the barrel. Does anyone know who to contact regarding getting keys cut and more importantly which is the correct numbers/letters to quote? Thanks Ian
