Hi, All,

I've got an issue with my older (1990) Cobra trailer. *It has the

Well, it turns out that my locks do fit the EMKA key shape, but none
of the "normal" EMKA keys actually work. The locksmith described my
lock and keys at the local locksmith convention and said everyone
there
thought he was crazy.

In the end, since my one key was actually locked inside the trailer,
I had to get in with a drill (I drilled out the rivets on the door
hinge).
I've got one pointer to a local lock shop that might have blanks that
will
work. If that fails I might just have the locks rekeyed to fit one of
the
standard EMKAs.
