You got to be kidding? Who doesn't have Abloy on their door in Finland? Yep, I have Exec in the front door, Exec in the mailbox and Classics in padlocks. Pretty basic 8)

No idea what manufacturer and it's hard to see the exact keyway profile from that angle (you did that on purpose, right :wink: ).

Type: 5-pin solid brass rim cylinder
Easy: to pick? probably :)

D.a.m.n that was fast! However, although it's marked Climax Detector on the bolt, it might not actually have the climax detector mechanism in the lock. Cotterill drawer locks often don't have this extra bit. Shrub, can we see the underside of the lock cover to check?

Hard to tell what brand it is (Miller? Union?). But it looks like a type of pancake padlock with a warded key of some sort. Might even have a lever or two in it.
