Sometimes these locks have a key number stamped on it.

If you have the make of the lock and key number an old time shop can help.

Studebaker used Miller and Yale in those days.

Can you post a picture of the face of the lock?

There is a locksmith in Woodland, California that has been in business since 1947. In the past year they have worked on five of these spare tire locks and successfully got all five working including making keys for them. I have attached a picture of the three that he did for me. He also repaired and keyed two for another 29 President owner.

The person I dealt with is Lauren Davis

I hope this helps you solve your problem.

I am having parts re chromed on my 1929-30 FD Commander Regal and I do not have keys for my spare tire locks. So far no locksmith can open them. Any suggestions. Attached is a picture. The locks on the right.[ATTACH=CONFIG]267807[/ATTACH]

Those side mounts lock brackets were not chrome plated. Just the bolt cover as in Marks photo.
