Locksmiths stock all manner of locks and caps. They can also key your existing cap with any other key. Why don't you ask Steve? If you have the skill to do the work yourself, then just go out an buy the caps with taller (longer) tumblers. Most of the newer ones cannot be keyed to a stock key. Another alternative is to remove the wafers so any key can open your cap.
