Most (and all that I have seen) DEC machines that used this type of key were keyed alike
and took the XX2247. I believe you could specially order a machine with a different pinning
to the lock, but I've never seen it done.

Incidentally, I think a good locksmith could cut a key based on the XX2247 code (only, they
wouldn't need a key to copy). I have no idea how much they would charge for that but I think
it would be less than the current bit on this Ebay item.
