Greetings Locksmiths,
I found a set of keys the other day, and I'm trying to track down the owner. One the keys looks like a Keso dimpled key. I have one of these myself, a Sargent Keso. My limited understanding is that they're high-security, and only made by the manufacturer.
Would any of you recognize the design? The key has a bright red plastic handhold, with a six-pointed star pressed into both sides of the red plastic. The key is somewhat shorter than the Keso that I have; the metal portion is only about an inch long. There are three different sets of dimples differentiated by their depth -- flush, half, and full indent.
I know it's a long shot, especially if there are generic equivalents sold commercially with lockboxes and such, but I know these things can be expensive. If I lost my Sargent Keso, I would be very glad to get it back.
Please email if you recognize the design, or have some insights.
Thanks for reading, Kenneth Jones snipped-for-privacy@aya.yale.edu
