Spare Tire Lock and Key

I need more help. Can someone guide me in the direction of a locksmith that may have a pattern for my 29 pack 633 spare tire lock. It has Yale 331 on the face and also a stamped S. Does anyone have the same lock and if so I would like to discuss borrowing it to see if I can unlock my spares and or I can make my own key on my milling machine.

Thanks for any and all comments, help and advice.

Generally if you can pick the lock to open it, then you can remove the cylinder and recut the tumblers to fit any key you wish or make a key to fit the current tumbler configuration. Lock-picking isn't exactly a common skill but the need does arise fairly frequently in the old car hobby - have you checked with your local antique car folks to see if someone can give it a try? I've been fairly successful most of the time with a simple pick kit from Southord and it comes with a primer on use.

Thank you Mr. Dyneto for the reply and the lead. I have tried my local lock smith without to much success. Says he needs to see the lock and car is not running yet. Service charge to come out etc and I am not that serious at getting the tires unlocked yet. I will most like try the pick set you suggested and pick up a new trade in picking locks.

Thanks again for you help.

Try a variety of different keys that u have just laying around or that friends mite have.
Work a miscellaneous key bac and forth and tilt it up and down while trying to turn. Be gentle not real agressive. U just mite get lucky.
