Schwinn locking fork... no key

[mybike1]

So... what do I do with a Schwinn locking fork that I don't have a key for? What are my options?... it's locked now

Lock smith, or drill it?

A Locksmith can take the numbers off the lock and make you a key. Around $30 I think.

There is a guy in the Chicago area that specializes in locking Schwinn forks. If you give him the number that's stamped on the cylinder, he can probably supply you a key. His name is Wes Pinchot. I don't know how to get ahold of him but someone on this forum surely knows him, like Skipton maybe. Gary

Don't get too worked up about these locks, they are just Yale cabinet locks. Keys and parts for the lock cylinder are easy to come by if you go to the right source.
