Clearly, you're putting your object too close for your camera's focal range, so it is choosing to focus on the other thing in the pic... namely, the background. Just take the picture from farther away, then crop out the rest of the stuff in the pic. At 6.1MP, you have plenty of resolution to play with.
Seems to be an old US Army lock as they were commonly impressioned with US. Can't be that old though, American was Junknuc bros. not too long ago, I believe. As for the 1894, That was probably the lock number they used in a Master key system. It is probably still subject to the spools and serrated pins commonly found in American locks. Like mcutzy said, use a mild degreaser or cleaning agent, and then lubricate. That will probably help you out alot

If it ain't broke.....pull it down and see how it works anyway!
