Help identifying this lock?

Any idea what type of lock this might be? It's from an old industrial locker. There's actually about 7 of them from different manufacturers like "All-steel Equipment Co" and "General Steel Products Co".

My guess would be a Master Lock 1718. Not sure if they still even make it. It was a built in version of a school locker lock but used a flat steel key. Mostly used on employee lockers versus school lockers where they didnt want a combination.

Thanks for the info. Didn't even know Master Lock made locks that went into lockers/doors. Thought they just made combination and those stand alone ones used for chains and gates. :mrgreen:

Lockers are probably a large part of their business since there are a gazillion in each middle/high school.
Most with the exception of PE locker rooms are built in locks so they dont tend to walk away.
