Looking for keys to open windows

bridgetmaherwright

My office has 6′×6′ windows that only open with a set of keys. Building MGMT will not give us a set so I thought I would make a duplicate copy or see if there were more keys like these on the web for purchase. Please let me know if you have any info on these keys or who might make them.

Intriguing keys, what area/country are you in?
Are the windows wood, steel, aluminium, PVCu?
They seem simple enough but I do not know of any precut exactly like that.

There’s usually a good reason the bld mngt dosn’t want you to have a key,(security,fire,environmental conditions just to name a few).I would check with mngt and ask for their reasoning for having the windows locked.I work in building maintenance for our local college and we don’t allow employes to open the windows in our admin blg because it unbalances our central hvac system,which makes more people uncomfortable than help those who want the fresh air.

Sorry I did not respond sooner. I am in upstate, NY and the keys are made from steele. We are looking into have a copy made by a company that makes/fixes boat props. In response to #2, there aren’t enough keys for every single office in the building therefore I have to bother someone and ask them for their key every time I would like to open the window. I end up doing this because for about 4 hours out of the work day, my office heats up so much that I am unable to work as productively as I would like. Building management is well aware of my endeavor.
