The factory ASSA isn't tooooo bad really. Just a shame they went for everything on one side and didn't open up the side pin channels completely

Thanks for the pics Gordon
What a load of old BiLocks!!!!

I'm probably 0 for 400 in looking for safes behind wall paintings

My thoughts exactly. Thought I had a great one until I saw yours. :)

I know one thing for sure, and that's the fact I would love to be able to nickel plate my cutaways like they do

I wonder how nickle plating would affect the lock. Do you know? Since you mentioned it, found a place not too far from here that does nickle plating. May give them a call for pricing. It might be a nice way of 'refinishing' that Protec cutaway.

As long as the actual insides and friction areas aren't done it should be fine. Its just the face and the walls of the cuts to make it look nice.

Well here's the rest of them... still need to de-burr and de-pen them so the pics won't do them justice

ASSA Twin 6000, Medeco Biaxial, TuBar, Illinois Duo, and BiLock NG. Very nice!
