The manufacturer should be able to help you with a serial number. They are all pretty good at keeping key numbers tied to serial numbers.

I carry a universal key for all locks. It's a 17,000 rpm Roto Zip by Bosch, with carbide bits. Just have a replacement lock ready before you use it.

What happened to your key? Or is the lock rusted up?

You can always drill it out or break it and replace it with a Gem lock, which is cheaper and all brass so it won't rust out again.

that lock has spining disk in it drilling will be a problem. The roto zip will probably be the safest.

I asked Jim Gosnell about drilling when I had one that wouldn't open. He said emphatically DO NOT attempt to drill out one of these. It won't work and will just make it harder for any other attempts.

If it is not recessed, what about using a right angle grinder and grinding it down until it falls through the door?

What about contacting the equipment manufacturer? Maybe they would know what key number you got.

I have locks like that!!!
I am also coming to see you thrusday...I'll bring my grinder:(
I think I have a set of medico cam locks that I can lend you until you get your new locks in. I do prefer the LAI locks over the medicos for the bays.
