Motorola HLN6909A Key

[mrburch]

Picked up several radios locked in Motorola HLN6909A locking mounting brackets. The locks don't have any numbering on them. Are they all keyed alike to the same key from Motorola? Is there a part number for the key so I can make sure I get the right one? I see several key #2135 online.

Lock picking is easier than you think! Might be a little overkill for your situation, but hey it’s worth a shot.

Pretty dang sure those use a 2135 key.
You should be able to find a 2135 key in any radio guys tool box, desk drawer, key ring, junk box, etc. If you can't, they are cheap on e-Bay.

90% of all Motorola keyed devices made in the last 30 years use a 2135 key.

Those keys are so old and so common I am not even sure why Motorola even uses a key anymore. If you look around on the sidewalk you'll probably find one..

I've thrown away about fifty of them in the past week, and they still litter the shop. Both the mount and the key.

You can drill a half inch hole about 3/4 of the way back from the key entry side, at about 2 o'clock looking from the front to access the allen key head retaining bolt. I think its a 4mm allen.

Chase the garbage truck I was getting $8 plus postage on ebay for those things.

A COM-T instructor here in Texas actually ordered a bunch of blanks from Chicago Lock Co last year and has a local locksmith cut them and hands them out to his COM-T students. Most of which deal only with Motorola radios but have no idea what a 2135 is.

Here is one of many piles

I guess I should have offered to buy one here before I tried to make an offer on ebay.

I've done a good bit of picking in the past and forgot I had some double-sided picking tools. I tried them and one was a perfect fit, popped every lock like it was the factory key.

Of course this wasn't until after I bought an $8 key off ebay...

This was in the key slot of an upgrade we did today.
