Lost key for case

[Gust0o]

Morning all, long time no speak

 

I was pulling some items out of storage, and fancied a flutter on some of the old gang - but I'm locked out! I don't recall locking anything, but you never know.

 

No brand on the case, alas (it'll be on the inside, I'll bet - probably with the spare keys!), lock has been resistant to jiggling and hair pins thus far.

 

Anyone recognise the lock? Any idea where spare keys might be obtained from? Anyone have any spares? Any other options to open without chopping it?

 

Thank you!

Could it be unlocked but just that the sliding bit is stiff or seized?

I would keep trying with hair pins, most guitar case locks are shockingly easy to get into.

If you have any other keys for other cases, you could try them.

This ............or I have had some success with a bent paper-clip as well.

Try your double-glazing keys.....

Any high street locksmith would get into this in seconds and probably for pennies.  I lost a flight case key years ago (the lock was a bit more sophisticated than the Fender-type case locks) - the local locksmith got into the case very easily and produced a new bespoke/hand-made key for about a fiver.
