Lock for Pewter key

[robm]

Well i thought i had finished then old girl,but it's funny how things keep cropping up isn't it?

Hudolin 1996 Door Lock, i am getting 1 made, hopefully to fit the TARDIS Key replica that you find floating about, but has anyone got/made 1 before that can give me some advice/ schematics on the subject prior to the start of the lock being made?  Thanks Party People

I've understood that the pewter key, beacuse its in pewter, is actually pretty useless as a key.

Its too soft, you see. In my wallet (as it has been for long periods) it tends to bend a bit, but I believe that it would bend a LOT when turned in a lock (unless there was next to no resistance in there).

So in principle you might have to get a new key machined...

At least one of the keYs in the TVM was made of steel, likely for the lock opening scene.

I have had TARDIS keys 3D printed in stainless steel. I modeled the 4th and 7th Doctor keys. They came out pretty well. Something like that would work for you, I agree pewter isn't strong enough.

I have been thinking about doing this for my console.

I had this machined up for my Tardis, the keys are steel items I found on ebay:
