Flawed but improving!
A strange request I know, but the second hand Canon hard case for my 500 f4 IS came with no keys to the locks. These are briefcase style slide sideways and then flip up locks (see thumbnails below). On each lock it says "540" which I strongly believe is the key number but there is no other designation as to what the key looks like.
Contact with Canon and Robert Scott drew a blank, and at times I am sure I could hear muffled laughter when I was trying to describe what I was after 3.
Is there a better source fopr Canon parts such as this?
Could anyone who has a similar case/key be so good as to send me a photo of the key that I could then show a key cutter. I think the key is basic as I can lock/unlock it with a very loose fitting key from another case but I would like to get the right key.
I doubt if Canon would only use one key for all their cases, but if someone does have key number 540 and would be preapred to have a duplicate cut and send it to me for a modest remuneration that would be ideal.
Important to me as I am planning to travel with it soon.
