I have gone this route a couple of times to get missing keys replaced
also. There are many different keys for these though, not just a code
that works for all of them. The last time I needed keys my locksmith
opened a drawer and pulled out a ring with a couple of dozen tiny Westy
water tank keys on it. He tried them all one by one until one worked.
Then he duped it for me. If I had known this, I could have saved myself
the trouble of removing the water access housing. The locksmith said he
gets so many requests for Westy keys that he started keeping a copy for
each one that he took apart to make keys for. Now he rarely finds one
that he doesn't already have a key for.
