Kalleberg Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I've got some old Gabriel / NW machines where all the locks are keyed the same. However I've only got one key for them and it is beginning to get fatigued. I've been to a number of locksmiths and they don't seem to be able to find the blank in order to cut a duplicate. Has anyone seen a blank like the attached and know where I might be able to find one or more? I think it kinda looks like an Eagle key but I'm not sure. The only identifier on it states "M21".

gumball guy Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have a few of these old machines out on route still. I know at least one still uses the M21 key (sorry I have no extras) but I believe I switched the other ones over to Oak locks. If you can't find a back up M21 key you may try a Oak or Northwestern lock and that should solve the back up key issue since those keys are easily found.

Kalleberg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah - I may have to go that route but I was hoping to avoid scrapping the locks I'm already using if possible. Unfortunately a new key may not be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalleberg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Appreciated. However I've got about 25 CamLocks that I'm waiting on a tubular key replacement in order to use. I was just hoping to not scrap my existing locks. Thanks for the offer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Have you called Eagle and asked them if they have the key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalleberg Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I haven't - because I wasn't sure if it really was an old Eagle key. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, assuming that it is possible to reach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 They still answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'd be curious to see if they still carry something that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalleberg Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I finally got in touch with Eagle and sent them the pics of the key. They confirmed that it wasn't one of theirs and that their key style hasn't changed in the past 20 years. I guess I'm out of luck. I have to admit though that they were VERY helpful over the phone. A live person quickly answered and was very helpful even when there was no purchase involved. Much better than most of the other vendors out there who seem to want to avoid even selling a machine. Looks like I'm just going to need to replace the locks before my only key breaks due to metal fatigue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Yup, Eagle CS is pretty damn good, sometimes the asian lady on the phone is hard to understand but she always tries her best to be helpful and thorough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heritagevending Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have 48 locks + 4keys of the M21. They need to be sold as a whole lot. I believe they are all new. I will take $150 for the whole set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
