Could you add some pics? That could probably help in identifying the lock.

You could probably find details about your specific lock at their website http://www.padlocks.com/ A picture of a different model but similar looking lock won't give anyone much to go by to help. But that URL above is for the manufacturer's website, and you should be able to find what you're looking for there.

Remember, google is your friend

It is a Wilson-Bohannon padlock, generally used by utility companies. Not aware of any special pins in them, they are usually all brass including the shackle, which makes them ideal for outside usage, so they don't have to deal with rust, corrosion, etc.

That'd be a pretty cool little padlock for your collection. That is, assuming he lets you keep it. :mrgreen:

Sorry that the site didn't help much... I figured the manufacturer would have the most info.

Have fun picking 'em!

Some of these have restricted keyways, some do not. I have had a chance to pick one, they have large pins and a big open keyway. The tolerances in these seem to be good, I don't think the one I picked had any security pins, but if I remember right, the lock picked open to the left (CCR) and not to the right, (CCW) I may be wrong but I think I remember that.
