I picked up this kromer time lock on eBay yesterday for $25(Au).
But I can't find the exact model to buy a key blank, as far as I can tell without dismantling the lock to reach the leavers, is that it's a 6 leaver double bitted key that is bottom tensioning.
I found a bunch of pictures of Kromer leavers & matching keys, on http://www.uels.co.uk/kromer.htm , they are almost all double bitted keys that are bottom tensioning.
Anyway here's some pics, the blurry one says "kromer Oben", but I think "oben" mite just mean that that is the top of the lock!

Very nice find!

Well I just finished pulling it apart and I'm pretty sure I found the key type, it's a Kromer type 2731.
This thing has ridiculously high tolerances between the stump and the gates, 12/1000 inch "fuck", I'm never going to be able to cut a key for that shit with a file!
Here's some pics.

Nice lock. Worth noting though that most of these get removed because they are faulty in one way or another.

It will be an absolute SOB to make a key for by hand ......

Measure the drill pin with vernier, I might have another blank that would suffice.
