VINTAGE ORIGINAL LANE CEDAR BOX KEY FOR MINI KEEPSAKE BOX ONE KEY UNIVERSAL FIT:
$12.95

Original specifications manufactured key held to the highest Lane highest industry tolerances This  is for a single one (1) "REPLACEMENT KEY ONLY" for your vintage Lane Cedar Box (and does not include any box-shown for reference only).  This is slightly larger(~1 3/4” L or 1/2” longer) than the hard to handle smaller factory originals and others you may see for sale.


• Due to popular demand many customers said "make them a little bigger because the originals were just to small and to easily lost" and so I enlarged them.  


•Lane has stopped making these  in 1999 (1922-1999 mfg dates)  and after selling the cedar vintage boxes on the internet most customers only coveted them if they could lock them securely.  Hence I started mass producing the keys for your security and enjoyment to the tightest +\- tolerances and polished for rust corrosion protection.


• Lane Mini Box Sizes:  There are two box styles with the other style slightly higher, but narrower - my keys are universal and tested and engineered to fit both styles as the locking mechanisms are virtually the same.  

• Quality - all keys are made and tested to OEM standards on 3-4 different Lane cedar mini boxes for versatility of fit.  I cannot guarantee the fitness of your lock/box, but will work with you through issues.


• Stubborn or stuck lock - sometimes the locks will rust inside and it is recommended you put a little vegetable or olive oil lightly dripped in the keyhole and the top latching mechanism and lightly rock the key back and forth to work the lubricant in to free the rust.  Occasionally there is a spring clip inside the lock that has been dislodged and the the lock must be taken apart and repaired or reset.  


• Remember - "Lock is a Counterclockwise turn"  and Unlock is a Clockwise turn". Make sure the top of the steel key tip fits straight into the lock and is aligned correctly.  


• History -Lane was headquartered in Altavista, VA and  initially made the minis to induce young teens to eventually buy a larger Lane Hope Chest and it apparently worked.  It is believed they have sold over 3-4M larger hope chests and probably equally as many small mini cedar boxes and either gave them away or charged a token price.  Lane stopped making these  smaller boxes in 1999 although made them in various styles from 1922-1999. They no longer either make the larger cedar hope style.


• Universal Gender Gifting - Lane Cedar Boxes make great gifts for children, teens and adults.  Once initially marketed to young women they are now appreciated and gifted universally to all genders and ages. 

• Shipping - First Class Mail with a tracking number.  If you desire this faster choose the Priority shipping upon checkout & I usually get these out same day or next latest.

* Competition - there are those out there whom say oh they bought a big box of them in an sale, well Lane never mass produced these keys for distribution so they are simply deceptive with their claims.   If you look at the others closely you will see burn marks around the edges, unpolished & very crude appearance. Theirs are made with an imprecise torch gun, beware!!! Don't get near them during lightning as their claims are false.
