Herzog Cabinet Key

Post by Retrograde »

Does anyone have an example of the key used for the Herzog 710 record cabinet? A picture would be most helpful. The cabinet in this older thread is the style of cabinet. I assume cylinder and disc cabinets would have the same key.

Not knowing if the key/locks from one style to the next were the same, this came with my 820.
Cannot tell you if it is original or not, but it easily works the lock.

Thank you, James. What I want to do is find a key with a similar tooth pattern or get a reproduction blank to cut my own key.

Same key that came with my Herzog as well. You can easily find these barrel keys on eBay for a few bucks.

The picture James provided is a typical barrel key made for various cabinets... The listing below is for several different barrel keys for $4.50 each - #3 seems to match James' picture... Otherwise, find a similar one and cut the key yourself with a Dremel.
