Looking for Lock ID

[Squelchtone]

Can you identify this lock??
It was on a soda machine.
The customer needed a key. I could not pick this one (in the allotted time given )
It has three sets of three pins for a total of 9 pins. (a least thats what I think I saw through the otoscope)
The face and body are covered in hardened steel ( nearly 1/4" on the face)
If I can get the manufactures name, I would like to be able to offer this lock to my customers.



(first time posting a photo, Hope It worked)
It appears as though I still need to figure the photo part out. The link seems to work though.

Don't know anything about that lock, but to post a photo, put that same address you linked to into the 'img' tags. [img]address%20here[/img]

Just make sure it the direct link to the photo - the link should end in .jpg or .png.

When you're using Photobucket, when you hover your mouse curser over the picture that you want to put into a forum, this box should appear.

Then you just click on the IMG link and it should changed to "copied", if not then just copy it manually. The IMG link will put the picture into your post.

But really links to the picture will probably work fine.

Hope this helps.

@LockDocWa:

If you can not identify this lock then what good would you have been able to do if you had been able to pick it open ? Since you don't know what it is, all you would have been able to do had you opened it was replace it with another T handle lock and cylinder...

Since you couldn't identify it and therefore wouldn't have been able to create a key for it if you had opened it you shouldn't have wasted your time trying to pick it, destroy/replace... A customer who insists you need to make a key for the existing lock and can not destroy it and replace it when it is the ONLY one they have there is something fishy afoot...

Thanks for the tips on posting a photo, I will practice that in the future.

Evan, Picking the lock open is what I always try first, I hate ruining locks or safes unnecessary.
I could not make a key even if I opened it, this is true, BUT now I would have another toy.

The customer didn't care how I got him a key, drill it, pick it, impression it, replace it,
he just wanted a key. He is a good customer, we have done business together many times.
Nothing fishy going on here.............

Just out of curiosity...did you happen to notice how whatever key type that belongs to that lock is supposed to align properly when inserted?
I'm guessing maybe there's some guiding warding on the inside or something...but from the photo it looks like there's no way to tell if the key is even oriented properly when inserted.

Totally missed the boat on that one, and I've got this cool
USB powered microscope / camera. It has four small led lights
on the tip of the camera.

Here are some photos of it and photos it took.








It's called Supereyes

You can adapt a feeler pick on the tip to read wafer locks Giant size on your computer screen.

Well, I truly thought I had found the lock shown above on the soda machine,
Unfortunately, the wholesalers photos on the web
have a lot to be desired. This new lock appears to be an
Abloy style. I haven't even had a chance to try to pick it.
I'll let you know how that goes. Appears to be only 2 discs
in this lock, however, there may be some #1 cuts showing
nothing on the key.





And don't worry about me showing this key.
No one on this site will ever know
where I will eventually install this lock.

Those uncut parts are #0 cuts, not #1. And definitely only Abloy "style", not original
Keyway looks like an Exec. These knock-offs also get improved!
