8kcab Door Lock

[avpro91]

Anyone have picture or know where to get a replacement door lock for a 77' 8kcab? Mine was missing when I bought it. Guessing it's just a file cabinet lock, but would be nice to see what its supposed to look like to get the right one. ACA doesn't stock door locks the older planes.

You ever run into my old college friend Sheffie? I think her family runs a furniture factory in Lebanon - she lives and breathes aviation.

Hello all,

I found out that on the inside cover of the original airframe logbook from the factory, there is a key code for the lock on your aircraft (if original). That led me to a key manufacture in Canada that makes keys… I’ll let you know if it works!

Should be an HGX. X being a number.

Unfortunately, the key did not work. Back to the search

If you have a latch, but no key, pop the door off, take it to any good locksmith, and he/she will have you back in business in a heartbeat. I think the local guy charged me six bucks for two keys, one of which is taped in the logbook.
