Bl**dy nuisance I would say! Doesn't add anything to the car's security - and just a pest to use!

Take it to a proper locksmith, they should be able to sort out a key for it.

Had one on a traveller and one on an LCV
Perfectly user friendly - I can only assume 'operator error' up north! :roll:

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
