I believe that's a Hurd lock and keyway. Can't remember the exact blank number off the top of my head.

1125, H5...something in that series should work.

Nice find.
Silca keyblank BA7R and FO3 look like the correct shape.

WooHoo! felt ok this morning so I went to the garage to look through my stash of keys to see if I had anything that fit the HURD (Ford) lock
In the last box, in the last bag of misc keys I found 2 ilco 1141F keys and they fit perfectly!!! Now, if I could only find my pipen file :twisted:

Thanks for the replies guys and hopefully I will have some working keys for this old lock sometime in the near future.

Well I tried to make some marks on the key blank for spacing but I can see it leaving any marks... Any locksmiths out there that use the HPC1200 know what code card to use for depth and spacing?
