Roll top desk restoration

[Yorkshire Sam]

I am trying to get a key for a roll top desk.. been searching but can only find supply from US. While the key is not too expensive by the time you add postage it becomes stupid! Does anyone know of a UK supply where I might get a key from .. even a blank and if neccesary I will make my own.

Any DIY store that does key cutting should be able to supply a blank.

They do a variety of blanks and hardware if you take a look. Never used them myself.

Thanks I searched for hours but never found these

Any good locksmith will have blanks in stock, unless it's really rare.

Visited quite a few key cutting shops in the area but unable to obtain a blank, not surprising really as they are an odd shape. Thanks to help from Bm101 managed to get a blank and cut it to fit with the use of some needles files after researching it on the net. It took a little while but I now have a key that unlocks the tambour. Its amazing what you can turn your hand to when the need arises!

Good for you! Glad I could help in a minor way. Good luck with the desk Sam.
