Hi all,

I have Browning hard case for, I believe, a single barrelled semi or pump shotgun. Unfortunately, the keys are missing. I contacted Browning with photos, and was promptly sent a set of keys that, unfortunately, do not fit the locks. My research indicates that a particular "standard" luggage key marked #71 should work. Before I go tracking one down, I'm hoping someone might have a similar vintage/style of Browning case and could post a closeup picture of the key so that I know what to look for?

Much appreciated!

Do what I did and take the case to a specialty luggage store. They will likely have a supply of spares and alternates, luggage locks are very simple.
 
I have a box full of gun case keys, but I no longer have a Browning case to test them in. Most have two lugs on them, even though only one usually goes into the mechanism.

Thanks very much! The keys Browning sent me sort of work in that if I angle them in I can get one of the locks to engage. The Atco label is what I have read is the proper marking for the keys, so I'm going to give a try at cutting my keys --- it's almost like they were blanks.

Otherwise, having that picture and the advice to take it down to a luggage shop will be my next step.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

Awesome. Hope it helps.
 
I have a similar lock on a different case. Just one lobe on key, very basic. I need to turn clockwise to lock and unlock and the key has to be in FULLY.
 
looks like the same locks on my briefcase, and most others
I would think the keys browning sent are correct, just have to be cut
But without your case ,not much we can do . I will have a look later, I have a box of keys, bed time now.

Hello, I'm a newbie here and would be interested in that key if you still have it. I'm in Nanaimo and recently acquired a browning case.
I haven't figured out the messaging system yet and sent another reply to your most recent post.

I don't know how to post pictures yet but I've posted a picture of what I'm looking for on Gun Post under cases and storage under the locks section. If you are a member there Ive posted two pictures.

Thanks in advance, Rob in Nanaimo.
