Lost Keys FAQs

Q: I lost the keys for my padlock. Is it possible to obtain new keys?

A: It may be possible to obtain replacement keys for your padlock only if you know the key number. The key number is stamped on the original keys provided with your lock. If you do not know the key number, it is possible to obtain additional keys from a locksmith who can impression your lock. If you do know the key number, go to a locksmith or local hardware store to order keys. Please note that the locksmith will charge you a fee for this service. Not all Locksmiths, Hardware Stores or Home Centers offer this service; please phone ahead.

Q: I've lost the keys that came with my lock and I do not know my key number. Can I send my lock to Master Lock to have keys made?

A: Without the key number, there is no way for Master Lock to know which key will open your lock. There is no such thing as a Master key that will open all Master Lock products.

Q: Can I order a new lock that will work with my existing key?

A: It may be possible to order products that can be opened by an existing Master Lock key. Take your existing key and lock to a hardware store (Ace, True Value, Do it Best, etc.), locksmith or other outlet that sells Master Lock products. Ask them to order the product with the same key number that is on your key. Please call ahead, as not every retailer will provide this service.

Q: We lost both keys to our lock during a move. Now we are unable to get some important records out of storage. What should we do?

A:

If you did not record the key number, which was stamped on the original keys that came with your lock, it is not possible to obtain replacement keys. Contact your local hardware store/locksmith for removal. If you know the key number, a hardware store/locksmith can duplicate most keys.

Q: My hardware store no longer provides key replacement service. What should I do now?

A:

Occasionally, a store will stop offering this service due to lack of demand or time constraints. In this case, we suggest calling a locksmith who is used to handling this type of request. To save time, always call ahead to ensure that your particular store provides these types of services.
