Mellbree Skeleton Key Set

Years ago I had a cabinet-maker friend make a colonial style secretary desk for us. He used hardware from Ball and Ball, and wouldn't you know the skeleton key snapped. Ball and Ball wanted too much (my opinion) for a replacement key, so I took a chance and bought this set for a fraction of the cost. Yep....one of them worked great! Problem solved! I'll sell the other keys at our yard sale next summer and make money!

I have an antique Governor Winthrop mahogany secretary desk that was my grandmother's, but the key to the cabinet and the flip-down desk was missing. This key set had a key that fit perfectly! I really don't need all the others, but I just didn't want to buy multiple from the antique store just to find the right one. Buying this set was cheaper than going through all of that. I'm pretty sure there's a key in this set that will fit neatly anything.

Our house is 100 years old, with all the original interior doors. Two of the 12 keys in this set fit our doors. The cost of the set is much cheaper than hiring a locksmith. The keys feel plasticky, like die-cast metal. "Brass" refers to the color, not the actual composition of the keys.

Great variety of keys. Found one that fit!

Inherited a breakfront with no keys. Ordered this set and was able to open it with the first key I tried. The collection is nice enough to display if you wanted to.

Keys comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes…. But NO size to fit inside my jewelry box. I had to remove the face off of my jewelry box first and tried using each key that was inside the box. Nothing worked, what did work was my small flathead screw driver smh AND TO TOP IT OFF I FINALLY FOUND MY ACTUAL KEY after all the stress.

We moved back in 2020 to an 1949 house, with its inside doors using mortise locks. Long story short, I never bother getting keys for them cause it’s just me and my wife, we don’t have kids at home yet, but we do get family guest here and there, and last thanksgiving we had a “situation” with the bath door, so I decide to finaky fix the issue. I haven’t seen this locks since last time I went to my grammas, I didn’t k ow shot about them, so in order to find it’s key, I took it apart an start to Google the images to get clue, which I did, and than I started to compare the pics I have of the lock with some skeleton keys to finaly realize which shape I should get, and I get it right on the first bet, bought 2 pairs of same style but slightly different head (with and without the notch) and voila, I’m using them all and I got keys for the most important doors in the house. This seller is also amazing, I just realize after my buy that they know this might not work for you and they don’t mind you try and return them if they don’t fit, this is awesome for those who can’t identify what key to buy. I recommend the key and the seller to anyone, great deal.

Perfect. Arrived quickly. It had the key I needed. Had all the loops so I made the rest of them a nice decoration for the house also. Not sorry at all.

I own a 1909 church as a home and have been able to use these to lock and unlock doors and cabinets where the keys have been lost for generations! From dressers to china cabinets to interior and exterior doors.

I have to say I was skeptical. I didn't honestly expect this to work. But it did. After months of trying I finally got this beautiful cabinet open. Highly recommend these keys - they look fantastic too!

Worked as advertised

The keys are cheap quality but I suppose reflected in the price… unfortunately didn’t fit , I suppose they are just generic keys. Not great finish ….

Flimsy !!!
