Key for steering lock
I have a steering lock that came with my Pick up. But I have no key for it can anyone tell me if the key number is stamped anywhere in the lock and can you get to it? Thanks John

Had one on a traveller and one on an LCVBl**dy nuisance I would say! Doesn't add anything to the car's security - and just a pest to use!
Perfectly user friendly - I can only assume 'operator error' up north!

Hi mmjosh
That number you quote '51233a' where did you find that. Just its that Ive got exactly the same lock on my pickup and I took it off a very sad traveller in a scrap yard but I didnt have the key for it. It wasnt really that much of a problem as has been quote above, a keysmith was able to get a key to fit, but if Im honest Ive always been a bit dubious of the key as the cutting is just one simple very shallow notch cut out and doesnt look right, but it works great.
Anyway back to my question, I cant find a number on my lock where is yours?
Regards
Steve B
