However the key/blank is a rather odd shape and I have nothing that
will fit in the keyway of the lock.
IF P3800 machines were generally 'keyed alike' then I'd want to keep
the original pins to maintain that feature.

use a
blank to lift the pins so I can 'shim' it from the rear. Push out the
plug with the follower, remove and measure the lower pins, then cut a
key.
If you have a key that fits but doesn't turn, putting in new pins for
that match that key is easier than measuring old ones and making a new
key.
