There is something on my locker doors in that location, and I have seen an advertisement on eBay offering to cut simialar keys given such information. You will need magnifying glass or phone camera to read the code. Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanb Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Here is a link to the sort of service that I was thinking about. There may be others, and perhaps a local locksmith could help if time is pressing. Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's normal practice for motorhomes to start life with the same lock barrel-and-key combination on all exterior lockers (gas-locker, toilet cassette locker, etc.) but these locks are not wonderfully sturdy and, if the barrel or key becomes damaged, it's commonplace for the damaged lock barrel to be replaced with a different barrel/key combination. A JMA YU-1D key blank is widely available (example advert here) https://www.morlandslocks.co.uk/gb/key-blanks/158-yugo-jma-yu1d-key-blank.html but this would then need to be cut to match the barrel of your Drifter's gas-locker. This 2022 MHFun forum thread discussed broken locker-door keys https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/broken-key.272120/#:~:text=Any decent locksmith (As opposed,in the blank specially though. A decent locksmith should have little difficulty opening your gas-locker door and (as you have the broken key) might be able to provide a replacement. If there's a Timpson branch convenient to you https://www.timpson.co.uk/stores/london-kensington-high-st/key-cutting and you take the key to them, they might also be able to help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
