well.... after a one half hour conversation with a very helpful operator, we were unable to solve my friend and my dispute.
All we could come up with was the chart that Squelchtone posted showing the key to the stamped date code on the locks : http://www.americanlock.com/pdfs/A-004_ ... l_2010.pdf
Thanks to all for the help, views and thoughts on this topic.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, AMERICA!!
