Default RV7 Sliding Canopy Lock

I recently acquired a VANs RV7 aeroplane and the previous owner had lost the canopy lock 'keys'....

It is possible to buy a replacement from VANs and through VANs Forums at vast expense, and there are many 'similar' barrel locks on eBay and Amazon, but I am curious to know if anyone has a weblink to any exact replacement locking barrels with keys that can be removed in both the unlocked and locked positions?...

Thanks

I?m sure they have uses but I?d rather have ANYTHING in my plane stolen than have to rebuild the canopy if someone breaks in. Everything is insured and it is all quick and easy to replace. I always use a canopy cover if parked outside though.
