Pull up a chair, grab a cold one, and talk about life as a locksmith. Trade stories of good and bad customers, general work day frustrations, any fun projects you worked on recently, or anything else you want to chat about with fellow locksmiths.

Does anyone recognize the brand name of this token dispenser? The owner has lost the keys and it must be moved. It must be opened first as it is bolted down. I have no experience picking high security, double wing, lever locks. I am trying to go to the company so as to get a decent drill point. Thanks.  Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

Don't know the manufacturer. But would it be quicker to impression a key?

I think I saw one of these same locks many years ago. It had 11 levers on two sides of the key. I am a typical American locksmith. I have almost no practical experience with picking or impressioning lever locks. Never even seen a two-in-one pick in person. If I can find the manufacturer I will request a decent drill point for the fence (stump) and a new lock with keys. The owner first asked about opening it two weeks to another locksmith. We discussed it and told him to look for the key with more diligence. I promised that If I had to open it in a rush, it would not be neat and pretty. And I cannot remember the name of the other lock or find the pictures I took of it.  Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.
