Hi,

I'm in the middle of putting together a 386 system from parts and have sourced a lovely old French desktop-style case that came from a 286 but fits my motherboard etc. beautifully. However, it has a keylock on the front which was left in the 'locked' position and I wasn't lucky enough to get the key when I bought it. I'm wondering whether anyone knows if it's possible to source replacement keys for these things? I don't think the mechanism is particularly high-security!

I can obviously leave the pins on the motherboard disconnected (with a bit of fiddling as the cable is the standard Power LED/keylock combination) and get rid of the POST lockout issue but it'd be nice to get even this little bit of functionality working properly and tidily.

Any suggestions gratefully received! I'm going to have a crack at turning the thing back round to the 'unlock' position with a hairpin but, as I say, if there is a way of getting hold of a key of the right kind that would ultimately be the perfect fix.
