Yeah it's just like the defiants/kwikset at HD, just missing its outer housing. (usually used on interior doors)

Okay, identify this. :twisted: :?

My guess is Kromer Novum but from the photo I can't say how many levers. It might be a clone of Kromer, but Kromer design nonetheless.

Oops - I didn't see the bottom part of the image. Looks like it's 9 levers...

I think it's time to end the speculation. The lock I posted before is a 9-lever Ross 700 series lever lock. You should be able to find it on line at Ross's website. It has a double-bitted reversible key. It's not a cheap lock, this thing is VdS rated.

Cheers

I feel obliged to return the favour. Here's another guess the lock! :)

Sorry about the photo - it's really hard to get the light down the barrel of this baddie.

Looks like a Bramah keyway, so my guess is Bramah. Perhaps a Bramah desk lock, by the form it is in. I've never seen a silver bramah, however.

n2oah - that's a pin that you can see in there, just above the centre post. It's not Bramah. I'll give you a hint though - it's got lots of pins.

Ah, I thought I saw some wafers. Darn. So it's a pump type lock, a post ward in the center. Probably not a Picard. I'll figure it out tommorow in class.

Ok, so if you have access to the advanced forums, you cant guess on this one. As The same pics are posted there. But try and guess what this one is.

Makes me think of the DOM IX kg 10, but it isn't dimple.
Must be the shape of the pins....
I'd say DOM.

Yeah, i noticed it just now. :lol:
Given the specific style of the keyway, it can probably be identified by a thread on an ebay-offer, a while ago.
However, the keyway in question is not in sight.
So i guess i'm pretty proud that i identified the brand by the pins, anyway. :P

Yours,
Jordy

Very true, Nice job of knowing the lock by the pins. And whats really sad, Is that now this lock is in pieces sitting in front of me right now. And I dont have a clue of how to get it back together. If anyone knows how, and would like to try, I'll send you the lock and some cash for your time and effort. I've been trying to get it back together for almost an hour now, but no luck. I'm not anywhere close to even being able to put the pins back where they should be. Let me know if anyone is up for the challange,

That's a nice challenge, but I guess Germany is somewhat far away...
