For the sake of discussion assume the housing/steering column support is already free from the steering column. I am trying to get to the key code stamped on the lock cylinder. Thank you in advance. Jim

This pin must be removed to allow the cylinder to come out the end of the housing. There are two types of lock cylinders. One has a single sided key and the other has the double sided key. *Be careful and don't drill into the cylinder as that ruins it.

There is a locksmith in Toledo, Ohio that has the entire collection of double sided keys that Chevrolet used in 1928. I don't know about 1927 but they said they have other years. I was able to take the ignition lock to them and they were able to open it with their key and the cut me a key for my 1928 ignition lock. They charge by the hour to find the correct key on their ring. Luckily my key was about 1/3 the way through the ring and I was able to two keys cut for my ignition lock for less than $50.

They made keys for my 28 sedan when I took in the cylinder and were very reasonable. Let me know and I will look up their name and address for you. Louie

Their website is: www.vogelslock.com. They have been in business since 1913 and I think they still have everything there from day one. Best of luck. Louie
