Cheap Locks in Aus

[Archive555]

Hey everyone. I've been looking to add to my grossly-underweight lock collection, and am not having trouble finding locks, I'm having trouble finding cheap locks. I'm not on a mega-budget, and I'm not looking for some super-high-security lock, just an ordinary cylinder or ten. Or 20. Anyway, it seems as though everywhere I look, I find expensive (not to mention terrible quality) locks that are lock-in-knob style, or are a complete deadbolt kit with one cylinder for about $50-$60 bucks. I've been looking around at hardware stores mainly, but also some reject-shop look-alikes. But to no avail.

http://www.jmlock.com has some great deals on just the thing I'm looking for (see this or this or this.), but don't ship outside the US. If anyone can find an Australian online retailer that has prices similar to this, or if anyone has any similar locks they wish to sell, I'd love to know. I wouldn't even mind if you popped out to you're local retailer and told me the price, depending on the price I'd be happy to pay for shipping to Aus, and a nice little sum for your troubles.

I'm really looking within the range of $40-$50 for at least 3 cylinders including shipping. If it's too much too ask, let me know. Thanks in advance everyone

If you're only looking for cheap cylinders to practice on, ask you local locksmith if they have some. Locksmiths will sometimes fit a cheap nightlatch but use their restricted cylinders, leaving the cheap cylinder. You could probably pick them up at about $10.

Or you could get some of the cheaper cylinder brands, Keyed to Differ, like Norton, RiteFit, BDS etc. In my experience some of the cheaper cylinders are actually harder to pick than Lockwood.
