    Could you send me a photo with size of a key for Meyer hard top lock, so I can make a model then find the good one.

    Thanks a lot to all _ I suppose that it is the same for the rear door. Mine is a 1971.

    Alan, those are odd-looking handles for a Meyer cab.

    If it were mine, I would attempt to buy new handles with matching locks and keys. Apparently they are available - http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?60021-Another-Meyers-Orville-Parts-Source

    Much of the hardware on these cabs is generic, and used on a lot of other products like service bodies, trailers, etc.

    My feeling is, here in the USA, a locksmith could make a key for those locks in a few minutes. It's a very common lock.

    Before going to more complex, I can try to make a key. I have tested with maybe 20 keys but no result; this is why I look for the shape of the key, then I'll make adaptation.
    This Jeep is my toy ( except when I have to pay) and I try to make it like it was in the past. It is pleasant to restore.
    I have time. I'll do my best.
