    I have an antique humidor, key has been missing for decades, can a locksmith make a key for it without replacing the lock?

    What does the keyhole look like? Those types of latching locks typically have very simple mechanisms.

    Another question would be, do you care if it ever locks again once opened?

    That type may be more of a challenge, in terms of a DIY solution. The barrel keys, in my experience, are easier to find a random key that would work. I have 500+ keys lying around for attempting to find a match for things I find.

    But since I'm no expert, we do have a forum member who's husband is/was a locksmith, so I will tag her for you: @Bev aka thelmasstuff

    Thanks I don’t believe the lock is still in manufacturing so I didn’t know if maybe a mold could be made

    On the lock. I should have been more specific.
