What I tried to do was take the lock in and have them
make a key. Not just copy a key...
Right. More places can likely copy than code cut an ACE key. I found
a place in Columbus that could do it, but certainly not every place.
As an aside since the Chicago Co. also made the
keys/locks for the IBM 5170 is there a catalog/code conversion book that describes how to
make locks for a given 5170 key?
Code books are for looking up the requisite cuts/pins/wafers to make
either locks or keys. A competent commercial locksmith who has the
right tools and parts should be able to do it.
