Mark Huston Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 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. Here is his information if you want to contact him and ship your locks to him for repair.Wallace Safe and Lock Co, 129 Court Street, Woodland CA, 95695 (530) 666-2454The person I dealt with is Lauren DavisI hope this helps you solve your problem.
