Need help identifying lock!

Postby SnoPro » 30 Oct 2013 12:45

Hello everyone I'm new to this forum and need some help identifying this lock. It seems weird to me but it has a keyway that seems to be the same as an old Ford 1127es key and the key itself is a Yale Y11 with the bottom stop trimmed off (just had one made at the hardware store and it works). Its a 5 pin, 3/4" long body lenght and 3/4" diameter mounting hole cam lock...looks like a smaller Mortise cylinder lock.Long story short...My boss put me in charge of finding these locks as our current vendor no longer wants to supply them and does not want us to buy them from their suppliers (2 different suppliers). Its stupid ,I know! I'm no lock expert by any means!!!! So I figured I'd turn to the experts for help. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Can't figure out how to post pics I'm sure that would help also.

Sounds like a universal mail box lock.
