my new locks

[Isakill]

as requested by unlisted here's a couple pics of my new locks I scored at a local flea market for 1 dollar a piece.





This is an old hurd lock. I've felt around and it seems to be a 5 pin





This little booger is a 4 pin and seems to be a really tight lock it operates really smooth but the spring in the shackle is obviously lost

any other information would be nice to have

I hope those don't re-pin like a Almont lock.

hurd made locks for ford right through the 60's, that keyway is an old ford keyway. I knew that they made some padlocks, but I wonder where they sold them, perhaps the ford motor company used them all.

Old locks are fun, and sometimes you can find them with certain flaws that are not obvious, that make them unique. I had one once that had a key cut low at the tip and higher at each position so that sometimes if you wanted to, you could pull the key out without it being locked, the plug would be turned just a bit and the lock was already picked. This makes for some interesting tricks.
