I security key broke in half while opening a lock. It is a LAI key. I managed to get the broken piece out. I would like to attempt to put these two pieces back together. What would I use? Would I try soldering or welding? If so would a small butane torch work or would I need something larger and what would I use as the "glue" ? Regular solder, a stick? I have a gas torch, and a small mig welder. I cut some grooves in it and have some reinforcing wire to go into the groves. I just need to get it to open about 20 locks then I will take them out and replace them. (See my earlier post about looking for a lock that can use a key that enters either way. ) I can't go back to LAI for long drawn out reasons that I don't want to go in to. And time is a factor. I have some machines that I need to get into quickly. I don't want to drill all of these out. I haven't found a lock that takes a key either way. ASSA and LAI won't work for me and the tumbler or barrel locks also won't work out. I need cam locks. I will call fort locks tomorrow and if anyone knows the web site for DUO that would be appreciated. Thanks again
