ParticipantDear Meyers addicts,
I broke my key for the main door.
Does anybody know where to get a replacement set of lock and key. I only got one with the purchase and forgot about to have a spare made.Thanks,
Thomas

ParticipantI have not dared without a plan for a fix.
Hoping someone had done this before…

ParticipantCall a locksmith, while I’ve not seen a Meyers, but my Cessna, my Maule and I’ve been told that Beechcraft all use desk locks, the kind you can get at a home improvement store, the little bar that actually locks may be modified though.
But a Locksmith should be able to extract the lock cylinder without damaging anything, or so I’ve been told.A locksmith made new keys for the companies C-210, it didn’t come with keys. I think he just replaced the cylinder but I wasn’t there to watch.

ParticipantUpdate: While looking through the paper documents for the Annual I found a spare set of keys.
Had our local locksmith (Mr. Minit) make new ones ( 3 sets). He immediately identified them as airplane keys. Had to order them from Italy…
Thought the Meyers was the Jaguar of the skies, not the Ferrari.
@Mark: Can your A&P give a source for the lock? Could be added to the Maintenance Manual..Thanks for your input.
