Locks are almost the first thing to get lost or broken, and they tend to be quite badly-made compared with the rest of your machine - if you can't get into that case please do not use a big screwdriver - you will only break something. Quite a lot of sewing machine cases can be opened with a small flat screwdriver to turn the lock; so try that, GENTLY, first. If the lock has a "keyhole" shape inside I have new keys which should do, or you might try a local antique dealer, they always have lots of odd keys
And NEVER, EVER carry the case by the handle, locked or not - the handle is to lift off the lid - otherwise you WILL break a toe... and the lid, and probably the machine....
All the locks have been oiled and work and now all are supplied with keys unless noted...
See also the CATCHES and LATCHES page
This page needed much work*, and I have started again from scratch, as the box was a total disgrace, nothing matched the numbers on the packets or the pictures, and I was in despair...
Locks at the top, keys below, oddments like escutcheon plates right at the bottom!
NOTE all the new photos are taken on a metric grid, any additional measurements are in inches. Just to keep you all on your proverbial toes... (And the lock plates are in millimetres, also for the toe thing, and to annoy everyone including me)
*I started this in April, finally finished on 25th October 2022
