Looking to identify a padlock

Postby CGLee65 » 20 Jan 2016 3:08

Good evening group, I am fairly new to the industry and I have a passion for old vintage locks. Locks in general just intrigue me. I was recently at a local junk store and stumbled across a padlock with no key. All I know or can figure out is that it's a Corbin Padlock made in the USA and that it's a 4 wafer padlock. After soaking it in a butter tub and rust ease I was finally able to pick it open. I would love to find out the history on this lock and maybe where I can find a key blank so I can make a working key for it. Sorry I have not quite figured out how to post pictures yet. This lock is gray in color, not real bit about 3" tall 2" wide. Has harden on the shackle and the keyway is all the way to one side. Has Corbin made in USA on one side and blank on the other, plus like I said 4 wafers.

That sounds like an old CCL padlock. They have no real value. Any locksmith can make a key but the cost is more than the lock is worth. If you know how to impression then take the lock to a locksmith so he can identify the blank. S1000V I'm guessing, may need to shorten it.

S1000V would be my guess.

Stumbled across this so apologies for the resurrection. Did you post a picture of this anywhere? Vaguely recognise that description, but would be good to double check before offering potentially useless advice :wink:
