Default source for NOS lock sets

Repo door and trunk lock sets aren't correct. Anyone have a source for correct NOS locks? Thanks

Hey Tommy,
There was a fellow out of Calgary, Alberta selling N.O.S. lock sets for a while. I believe his name is Graham Browne. This is the only fellow I have heard of.

The key slots are straight on the repops, on the originals they are cut to fit the contour of the key.

You can put a new cap, key door, and spring on an old lock. What I do not remember is if the caps have the notch for the key. The old cap can be removed but it is a major PIA to do.

I have not seen any repro locks with the key shape.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Richard / "RARE Z/28"?

I would like to speak to him about this post, moreover the Graham. It appears as though Richard's profile is set up to not allow private messages.

I have been looking to get a proper set of locks made with my original codes, and happen to reside in Calgary - so I would very much like to get in contact with Graham.
