Jeff-
When you take it apart, you may not find a number.  However, a good
locksmith shop should be able to look at it and make a key that will fit the
tumbler without much difficulty.  Turns out there's only about 5 posible
"standard" positions for each pin in the tumbler and a good shop should have
a machine that he can set the position for each pin and cut a key.

I did this about two years ago in Heuber Heights, Ohio (just outside of
Dayton).  The locksmith spent about 5 minutes and I had two keys that were a
perfect fit.  Total cost:  ~$12.00.

Subject: boot lock options


I received a number of helpful suggestions on what to do about my keyless
boot lock.

They were:

1) buy a new one

2) buy a used one

3) take it to a locksmith

4) take it apart and find the numbers that will allow someone to make you a
key


I'm going to try these in the reverse order of listing.

I'll let you know which one works out.

Thanks for all the help.

British cars and the internet: an unbeatable combination.
