Does anyone know of a solution? Dean, Those locks are usually a tumbler type of thingee with long arm on the back. the arm usually goes into a slot on the inside, side of the piano. Perhaps a thin ruler to push the arm out of the way. Or, a good locksmith could work his magic on the tumblers. Hope that helps somewhat. I may even have a key that fits it, as I have a slug of those thing laying around from an olde store I purchased their "shop". Seems to me most were kind of a "skeleton key" kind of thingee like the "keep your hands off my piano" locks. Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T. (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares R I avast!
