duplicate washboard key
« on: June 24 2022, 16:35 »
I could use a duplicate key or 2 but have had no luck finding a locksmith here in the UK or in Turkey wo  can source a blank. Is this available in the UK? If not is this a standard key in Germany - where my daughter is living.

When we bought our B32 I had a couple of keys cut. The lock on our washboards is made by Mobella.
I found several outlets on line. I think I paid £5 each. Might be cheaper than Clipper.

Timpsons in Brighton cut a spare key for our Mobella lock no problem. Can't remember how much, but not expensive.

Just to confirm, Timpson in Oban sourced blanks and cut duplicates for us.. Go and see them.

a bit far from me here in Kent  - Germany is closer. So far have not been able to identify locksmith in this are who can make a key

You can find Timpsons just about anywhere in the UK, usually in the car park of Tescos or Sainsbury
