Trunk locks
My 1931 Tudor is in need of a key or new trunk locks. Trunk to be redone as it has a couple of pin holes in the bottom. Locks are riveted to the metal trunk. Any idea other than a lock smith..

Re: Trunk locks
Get some of the people in your local club to let you try their keys. Likely only a handful of mfrs, and key combinations.
You are a local chapter member, right? |

Re: Trunk locks
I belong to a local club but have not seen anyone with a metal trunk like this one.

Re: Trunk locks
Drill the rivets and take one of the latches off. Go to a hardware store or Walmart and look for something close to what you have.
As an alternative, you can use small brass padlock hasp's. I see lots of that including my own. |

Re: Trunk locks
Snyder's has replacement trunk locks. May check to see if they are the same as your. https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/p...7367&cat=41731
Restoration Supplies also carries various trunk latches and parts. https://restorationstuff.com/shop/#fb0=55 Last edited by Y-Blockhead; 12-31-2023 at 01:35 AM. |

Re: Trunk locks
I think I took mine to a shop to have it matched, it is a skeleton key.
