replacement Yale sash bolt key

[bof]

Anyone know where I can get a replacement Yale type P119 sash bolt key like the one in the photo below?

I could go and buy another packet of six sash bolts that are supplied with a single key, but the key is made of soft metal and breaks easily[0], and I still have six spare sash bolt sets from the last time I did that.

Or even better something like a socket, made of decent steel, I can put on the end of a driver handle? The square head on the pin is approx.

3.5mm across the flats and the outer dia. of the key is about 6.5mm.

[0] this is the third key that's broken.

As it's the third time, how about a complaint to Yale:

you might just get a couple in the post.

A letter with a copy of that pic might get better attention than an email but who knows.

FYI, I've seen a window equipped with pin style locks that had been attacked and the wood of the stile had just splintered away, let the window open. The wood was just too narrow.

Seeing that, I'm using these instead:

're a visible deterrent and when attacked they tend to jam the window rather than splintering out.

The message from bof contains these words:

That's about the size of a No. 5 clock key.

Clock keys are readily obtainable (e.g. on ebay) in spider sets -- usually one set covers the odd numbers and another the even numbers. Once you establish the size that fits, buy a single key of that size.

Thanks, I'll take a look for clock keys, and probably contact Yale as suggested too.

As a completion follow-up for anyone Googling:

I contacted Yale through their customer services web portal explaining three had broken and asking how to obtain replacement keys, and received replacements through the post, FOC, a couple of days later.

Nice one Yale, and thanks fred.
