I found a pile of them down in the gas meter room. they must use them once and toss them. they are tough to pick. Security pins?
I 'll take all the help I can get as I am totally stumped. thanks

they are well machined and tight tolerance like best,

BUT NO SECURITY PINS

you can pick these. I usually don't have any problem with them.

If you found a bunch, look on them to see if there are company names or a code number, if there is a code # and that appears on more than one of the locks, they could be keyed alike

If you are having trouble picking them, the one technique that will open them and leave you with a key is impressioning, if you make a key to one of them it may fit some or all of the others. same company name could also be an indication of KA groups

They are generally used where you do not want sparking, around gas meters and petrol pumps. Nothing special but tight tolerances.

Can you please post a photo of the locks, I'm a big fan of WB. You can upload photo to tinypic.com and paste the http://tinypic.com/photo.jpg link here.

Thanks!

Well that's a first.. You went to http://tinypic.com and clicked Browse and then selected your jpeg from your computer? If you just try to upload to this forum, the server is already full, so that's why we suggest tinypic.com as a host.

Thanks!

@manifest design:

If you found a whole pile of them in the gas meter room perhaps the gas utility was replacing locks en masse in response to the key which operated the old locks being compromised...

They don't want some rogue helping customers steal gas now do they...

Yeah they don't have any security pins the only problem I had with them is the key way is kinda wide. So I made a tension wrench just for the w.b. lock but the easiest way to open is light tension and raking it
