Help with Swiss SIG 550 Meili Case
I need help finding a couple keys for the large SIG 550 Meili case. I'm not talking about the smaller "safety" case, but the larger one. I have two cases, but only one key. Does anyone know where I can get a couple more or who can make some?

Here is the case I'm referring to:

(My one and only key is in the photo also)

Here is a close up shot of the key:


Here is how the key fits the funky case locks:

(Key slot is on left, key is to the right)



Here is the Meili id plate in the case interior:

Thank you Daniel. I just went to their web site and inquired on how to purchase additional keys. If/When I get a response, I'll post it.

I have a query out to get a tool cut from plate. Seems this would be the same thing...just smaller. Spare key from the mfr seems easier and cheaper

I just received a response from Meili:

Dear Mr. XXXXX

Thank you very much for your request, we are of course pleased that our suitcases are distributed throughout the world.
Attached you will get a picture of us.
Are we correct in assuming that it is this lock as well as this key? If it is not this copy, we would ask you to send us a short photo of your castle.
We would be glad about a short feedback by mail.

With kind regards

English doesn’t appear to be their first language but what will you do with your picture of them?

And we’d like to see your castle also, sounds cool.

Success is mine! Who could ask for anything more?

Dear Mr. XXXXX

Thank you very much for your quick answer.
We are happy to send 1 pair of keys to Texas for free. We are glad that our suitcases are also used in Texas.
If you have another need, we are happy to be there for you.
Wish you a good start to the day.

Friendly greetings from Switzerland. ☺

I realize this is an old post but the email address is much appreciated. I sent them a request for two different keys to my two different cases. I bought them in 2008 for $350 each.

I got a reply from Meili and they no longer have any keys like this. Here's a pic of my cases.

Your front case is a "Safety Case". Your rear case is a regular/standard rifle case identical to my case from the start of this thread.

Correct. BTW, I received a reply from Meili and she informed me they don't have anymore keys for these cases. I wonder if anyone who has one could make a duplicate of it. I would buy a couple.
