Also the center lock body can be replaced. They are held in by a spring loaded pin from the t-handle. a lock shop can get what you need.

This is a close up of the lock. It's brass, possibly original to this machine, and older than most of us. I haven't seen many brass Ace locks, so I'd like to save it.
It has a collar around into keep someone from working it over.

Ajf,
Is that code number cx446? Or wcx446, give me the exact number and I'll see if I can get you a code. That's looks like the older Ace that can be picked. Not a job for a newbie at lock picking. It takes a $60-100 plus pick for those and experience. I used a nice HPC pick I miss placed.

I'll check on it in the morning when they open and see if a code is known for that number. With the code you can get a key cut by the numbers. You may have to call around to see who can cut it by code. It is different than coping from existing key. It should save you some $ depends on the lock shop.

No luck on my end today, call my guy and he didn't have that code listed in his program. Still worth calling around your area first before you drill it. A good locksmith can pick that lock and decode the pick and then cut the key. I done it many times, I locksmithed 15 years. Just trying to save you some extra steps and time. But still if you drill your going to buy a new lock.

Maybe just remove and set aside until find the right key? Use a newer unit until then.
