Hello! I need some small brass keyhole inserts very similar to those shown here.
I found 14mm and 15mm inserts, but they’re in the UK.
I’ve searched google, but the smallest I found is 5/8″, which is a little too big. 14mm should work the best, but 15mm may have to do.
If you know where I can find the small ones, I would appreciate you pointing me in that direction.
Thanks for your time!

Close! 5/8" outside is their smallest. Thanks!
Check Selby Furniture Hardware
Thanks, I got my locks at Selby, but they don't have the insert I need.
When I think of brass, I think of either Horton Brasses or Brusso. Not sure if they have what you want but these are places I would check myself if I were looking. Good luck.
Good choices, but neither has any smaller than 5/8". Horton has what I want, but it's 3/4". Thanks!
You could just buy some brass bar stock and make one. Probly eat an afternoon, but might be fun too.
That's a great idea, thank you!

the video shows how to make your own brass keyhole or search Ferrazzutti and look for his videos on veneered box
Cool, thanks!

I thought they had it, but 1/2" is the inner size, with the overall size being 5/8". Thanks!
