The holes are still there, but no key for them. The locking is a kind of lock that the key move. Is there anywhere I can get one of those old-fashioned keys? A locksmith has to do specially to fit the key lock, or the old-fashioned keyholes have only generic type codes do not have to be especially equipped? Or must I have installed a new lock?

It's called a "master key" and I actually found some at Walmart of all places! They came 2 to a package and were in a card shrinkwrapped. They worked for us!
