Love it, jdip.
A museum where I worked for years had a large collection of furniture and we often resorted to what we fondly referred to as "the cigar box full of keys". I'd say about 80% of the time we'd find one that worked in less than 10 minutes.

Thanks!
Thanks guys for all your suggestions!
I will try it out.

for hundevad you need
a number 2 skeleton key.
a simple old key filed down on the side to make it flat should open then in a second.

Thanks Simon!
That was actually my second question, if the unit was Hundevad and you said it right off the bat. Thanks for the ID and a big thank you to specifically pointing out that it's key no. 2!

hi Simon,Does it have to...

Question for Simon
Hi Simon, when you said that I needed key no. 2 for Hundevad were you referring specifically to the one featured on the link that jdip provided? See link below.
Thanks!

Key in Danish units

Mostly used in Danish cabinets were the skeleton key no 2 or no4 which simply refers to the notch in the side not the front.
Each lock should have the number stamp on the lock side. Take it out and see it embossed.
here is a image to illustrate.

Thanks Simon.
I will keep...
Thanks Simon.
I will keep trying. I had a locksmith modify an existing skeleton key to resemble no. 2 key on that link that jdip provided but that didn't work. I just actually ordered that set from that link so I'm hoping one of those keys will work.

Hi GuyInSF.
Did any of...
Hi GuyInSF.
Did any of the keys from the skeleton set work for you? I have a danish modern wall unit and I'm looking for the key, too. Cheers!
