<p>Except as has been pointed out, I evidently have the wrong
tumblers in my doors. Anyone have any for sale?</p>

Anyone who works on locks will generally have an
assortment of pins 75+ of various sizes. No need to
file down or leave out. Standard pins have a slightly
rounded top surface which makes it easier to insert and
remove key. A filed pin will work,but can cause the key
to catch.<br>

<p><em>"Can anyone recommend a topnotch Sunbeam
lock and key person?"</em></p>
</div>
<p>Sunbeam specific..., likely they are all under
the soil in the mother country by now.<em> </em>However
there are probably a craftsmen or two out there -
somewhere<em>. </em>Hopefully some knows.<em><br
clear="none">
</em></p>
<p>While some may consider this barbaric I have done
the following out of necessity. Locks typically
have either pins or wafers.</p>
<p>Pins:<em> </em>I will insert the key and play
around with the pins until I find those that come
flush with the rotating tumbler. Sometimes pins
can be doubled up to meet that height. Other times
I have filed pins to meet that height. Generally
there are also non-rotating, opposing pins in the
housing. Any tumbler pin that doesn't come flush I
leave it and its opposing pin out. While this
lessens the strength of the lock to rotation it
still offers a degree of a locking effect (better
than nothing).</p>
<p>Wafers: I find them easier. I will juggle them
around so that with the key inserted there is the
least degree of wafer height outside the tumbler.
Then whatever remains outside the tumbler
circumference I file off. Again, this lessens the
strength of the lock to rotation but still offers
a degree of a locking effect.</p>
<p>So, if all else fails.., this is at least a
functional option and given that historically
locking was not a primary consideration you would
gain something even if not full strength. The free
spinning lock seems like it has no pins or wafers.
The key that jams I'm not sure if you mean on
insertion, or once inserted it wouldn't rotate.
That could be corrosion/dirt or just the wrong key
for the pin/wafer configuration.</p>
