lock i.d. book

[mrdoorman]

Does anyone know how to get hold of a quality lock identification book to carry from job to job?

Hmm, maybe the Bible?(meaning Locks, Safes and security). ALthough it is really bulky.

Are you a locksmith?

Forgot too add, you can buy the bible here http://www.security.org/

Welcome too the site, BTW.

I'm a certified locksmith yes. Just trying to get started on my own but want a decent lock i.d. book to carry with me.

Where do you live and what types of locks are you trying to id?

Im taking a wild guess here and will suggest your uk based and want a mortice id book?

Pinky sells a good id cd if you look for his posts and click his www logo,

i agree with shrub, i bought pinky's cd,and apart from excellent lock id pics, the rest of the cd is invaluable to any locksmith. it covers so much, it's without doubt money well spent.

I don't think there is a lock ID book, but it would be a good project to have the lp101 site work on. For those who can take digital photos and list the information. categories would be padlocks, kik, deadbolts, mortise/lever and special applications.
