I do not know anything about making keys but the lock looks very similar to lock on my machine that does have a key. Maybe you could fashion one somehow. Take a look at the below post and I have pictures of the lock and the key. Not sure if it will help but hope it does.

I have a lock cylinder removed from a Model A that looks just like that. I had planned to pinch or file the tabs that hold it together to attempt to make a key myself. Unfortunately that is a project that never got off the ground! Sorry, I can't help.

Easy stuff. I do it all the time. I had a thread about how to do it here somewhere but it can be a little tricky at times.

Send me a PM or email.

I did have a locksmith make me a key for that type lock I posted a photo of what it looks like:

But I no long know how to contact the locksmith, the lock and key I have is a number 7 I see you have a number 32 lock, so my key won't work. Maybe we can work out some kind of trade lock and key?
