Locking external handles & door keys

[Admin]

If you have an old original rusty Portafold handle like this:

And the shaft looks like this:

Rub it down with some wire wool or a wire brush, till it looks like this. The number is 944, so that means the key number is FS944.

If anyone is missing their external chrome door handles altogether (like I was when I bought my Portafold) I now have brand new handle sets. They come complete with 2 keys per handle and have matching locks. That will give you 4 keys that fit both top and bottom locks.

Just been to the locksmith with my key number as found on the shaft. yep got a new key, now found out the darned thing only turns halfway and not the fault of the key, £5 wasted. Last year i bought one brand new original handle with two keys from a vintage car gathering for £7.50.... I'll be back there again. Ooh the problems with having three portafolds. There is a message here...
