Door keys for piston Twin Commanders
« on: December 26, 2023, 06:25:14 pm »
I never got the keys for my Shrike Commander. Does anyone know who sells the locks/keys aftermarket? Not sure that Medeco does as they aren't listed on their website.

If your airplane hasn't been modified, the keys were what was known as "Boeing keys" because they fit every Boeing airliner back in the day. Here is a thread about them:

Every Commander came from the factory with the same key... if it has been modified (which many have, including my 980), then you might be better off just replacing the whole cylinder.
