Most of my lock collection

[GWiens2001]

Several people here have asked about my lock collection. Some of my collection is with other people... a couple of practice boards, some padlocks on loan to friends who are learning to pick, a Commando on loan to a lockie friend, and so forth. But here is a majority of them.

First, deadbolts, mortices, wafers, camlocks, etcetera. Too many to take individual pics without making this post ridiculously long. If there is interest, let me know and I'll add them.


Next up are the padlocks. First a family shot:

And closer shots:







A couple of random locks:


And the infamous "Naughty Box"

Disc detainer locks, mostly from a friend here.

ASSA Twins, one with key, one I am making a blank for, then a key from the blank. And two ASSA Scandanavian cylinders from Zeepia!

Kaba 8 and a Mul-T-Lock classic. Don't have a key to the MTL, and the only place in town that can rekey it refuses to rekey a lock they did not sell, then refused to sell me a new mortice MTL unless I also paid them to install it at my house. So if any of you can rekey it (or at least try), please PM me!

Sargent Keso and a TuBar.

OK, these tubular locks do not belong in the naughty box, as have picked them numerous times. But here they are:

And finally, my Medeco locks. Bottom right is the Biaxial IC that I just turned into a practice lock yesterday along with the current "keys" Top left is an original IC, second down on left is original 4 pin cam lock, below that is a 6 pin Biaxial cam lock, top right is 5 pin KIK Biaxial for which I have a restricted blank, and below that is a 6 pin KIK Biaxial.

Very nice collection! I like the American Lock padlocks with BEST cores a lot!

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks, Squelchtone.

This does not, of course, include my son's lock collection. He wanted me to mention that.

Also, with one exception, everything in the third row has impressioned keys, and 2 of the three American locks with Best cores have impressioned change keys. STILL have not succeeded in making a control key for them.

Very nice collection indeed!
You don´t have any trouble spending some time if necessary...

Very nice collection you got there mate!

[femurat]

Nice collection my friend. About the mtl you'd like to rekey, it's easy! Unscrew the cam and shim it from behind

Cheers

Very nice. I would not mind seeing some up-close pics of the mortise cylinders etc.
If you want some Sargents or Corbins to mess around with, let me know (can't tell what all you have!)

Well, Jeff, finally got off my duff and took the pictures of the deadbolts/mortices/etcetera. Thanks for pestering me, I needed it!

As I mentioned before, many of these came from an eBay purchase from the kids of a late locksmith, so are in rough shape. Working my way through impressioning keys for the ones without keys. Have picked them all, though a few I had to get the corrosion broken loose first! You will see those ones.

Why are some displayed on a couple of pieces of wood? Because they have tailpieces attached, and so would not sit face up.

In no particular order:

1 Ideal Security, 1 Keil, and 2 S. Parker locks

2 Arrow, 2 no name

2 Eagle, 1 Norwood, 1 Sears

2 Honda ignition locks (1 complete ignition assembly, one with just the cylinder), 1 Honda door lock.

2 Lockwood, 1 Tubelite with lockwood key

2 Schlage handlesets

3 Schlage LFIC

2 USPS mailbox locks

3 Kwiksets that came on my house... and were quickly removed.

11 Yale locks.

Ace Hardware with Kwikset keyway, 1 Kwikset, 1 Arrow, 2 Weiser

CAS double cylinder dimple lock

1 Defiant, 3 Lori

Roto, Yale, ERA and no name half european profile cylinders

10 ILCO





4 no name cylinders

1 Keil, 1 Elgin

Schlage KIK cylinders, both 5 and 6 pin versions

1 Russwin, 1 Welch, and hey Jeff - a Sargent!

And a final poke to Jeff - another Sargent KIK cylinder


Just found a few more, but nothing worth taking pics of. Getting some in the mail soon that will be worth the pics, though!
