    Dear 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

    Thomas-can you remove the lock cylinder from the door?

    I have not dared without a plan for a fix.

    Hoping someone had done this before…

    Call 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.

    My A&P mechanic replaced my lock with a new lock and key with no problem.

    Update: 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.

    Thomas,
    Sorry,I haven’t been on this part of the forum lately. I will check with my mechanis next week to get that info in case you still need it.
