<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 111210, member: 37&quot;]I like the $125.00 price a lot better.&nbsp; If the top is solid, sand away if the scratches bother you.&nbsp; If veneer, be very careful not to sand too deep.&nbsp; I am not a fan of polyurethane, though it does even out nicely.&nbsp; On old furniture, I prefer a tung oil varnish.&nbsp; There are ready made products or you can make your own (1/3 oil based varnish, 1/3 mineral spirits or turpentine, 1/3 tung oil).&nbsp; It can be put on with a rag or foam brush so no brush marks.&nbsp; Probably will need 3 coats to get a good substantial coating or two coats with a coat of paste wax afterward.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you remove the lock and take it to a locksmith, I imagine they will have a key that will work.&nbsp; Likewise, some antique dealers keep a stock of keys and may have an old one that will work.&nbsp; These locks are not complex so you should be able to find a key.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
