Check out Princess auto, if there is one near by. I have found padlocks with tubular keys there for cheap

Ebay is the cheapest I've found. Locally, the cheapest for me are laptop locks.

I found a bunch of different ones on old computer cases. I even found one on an Everex computer that was a wierd small size. I have noticed that some of them have a little different shapes on them I guess it depends if it is a 7 pin or 8 pin.

There are 2 different standard sizes of tubular locks, and there several that are "unique sizes". The number of pins doesn't really change the size of the lock
