Re: Packard locks and keys

If you need the ignition key, make it from the door lock and if you need the glove box key, make it from the trunk lock. The reason for this is that the ignition switch seems to have a simplified set of pins, as does the glove box. If you make keys only for those, they will likely not fit the doors or trunk!

Case in point was a 1954 ignition switch for which I recently had a key made. It works fine in the ignition switch but does not work in the door locks and looking at the key's cuts, it looks almost like a new blank with hardly any cuts or marks on it!
