to find where the plugs are for the pins use a small ball point hammer and gently hammer the side of the padlock which has the pins in them, this will push the plugs in and you can see where to drill, alot of lockwood products are made in australia, they have 2 large factorys hear, i guess thats why we (australia) have so much lockwood stuff.
with their non rekeyable padlocks the couple i have pulled apart have had spool pins in them

Lockwood used to manufacture most of their products in Huntingdale and another plant in Queensland. Huntingdale has been shut down for quite a while now. Th e Queensland site (Fortitude Valley - I think) is the home of Whitco, where alot of the parts (manufactured overseas) are assembled.
There are no padlock manufacturing by Lockwood taking place in Australia anymore. There is shackle bending but thats about all.

well, i hate to drop this bombo in your lap, but i see a few (read that as "a RARE few) lockwood brand locks around here (central pennsylvania USA) as well. we have a few varieties of lockwood keyblanks too. Pwnany wrote:The key only turns 1 way (clock wise) and there is nothing under neath the shackle when its open.
it may be similar to the abus 83/45 (and others) that have a pin mounted in the side of the cylinder that prevents them from turning in the "locking direction". if you'd like, i could try to snap and post a few pics of the bits i am referring to. Pwnany wrote:Can someone please help me out.
if you need help, then you're in the right place. though i must warn you, we're all incorrigible smartasses, so you may have to endure a little ribbing in the process.  but keep in mind that it's all a little good-natured fun.

thanks Grim. But I don't really need any help now. Someone already told me that the hole is for water and I know you can't open it.

Nah I meant that I couldn't open the lock up through the little drain hole. Ofcouse it is possible to open it up but I meant non-destructively.

Some Aussie locks covered in the book I am writing on high security locks. Includes Bilock, BiLock QCC, Bilock new generation, lockwood V7, MLA Binary Plus, Ross 102, Ross 600, Ross 700. Many others used in Australia but not Australian (eg Assa Abloy, Kaba).
There's more than one aussie on this forum

That's great. When is it due for publication? Will it be sold through the major online retail outlets? greyman wrote:There's more than one aussie on this forum 
That's great also.
I think there are four or five active accounts held by Australians. We're under-represented and I suspect that it's due to the lack of Australia-specific lock information on the forum which is in turn due to there not being many Australians on the forum...

Hopefully mid next year - depends on how quick the publisher can turn it around. I'll certainly keep people posted.

To the originator of this topic:
Your lock has 4 spool pins.

Thanks for sharing that. Does the entire 110 range have spool drivers?
