Anyone know where I might source a lock like this one? It is stamped "Eagle Lock Company, Terryville, CT USA". My Google Fu has failed me.

If you are looking for a key, you probably can go to a locksmith and find an old flt metal type key that can me made to fit the lock you have. I believe that if you remove the two screws seen in photo number two you can remove the lock from the cylinder to determine how many fingers the key needs and how long they need to be. Those locks used keys like these.

Thanks for the suggestions. Finding a key is the best solution, as the cabinet already is already drilled for this particular lock. Re-checking places that specialize in keys I finally found one yesterday. Now I need to decide if I want to spend $35 plus $4 postage for it. A lot, but this project has been languishing for years.

What is your time worth? If you spend another two hours looking for a key that you get for less money have you really saved anything?
