Funky keyway

[Krypos]

lockwood huh? thats cool.

i have one or two like that. fits the yale Y1 key perfectly. it is hard with normal picks, and even a bit tricky with slims.

tension the top, and then use your pick to come up from the bottom and angle it around the wards. you will probably HAVE to go pin by pin. not that thats a bad thing though.

it do able. for sure. though security pins would add to the fun there, as it tricky. best of luck.

The Lockwood key mentioned should fit the lock, but in Canada you will find the 1054MT keyblank easier to locate and it should fit as well

I think figuring out the keyway without being given a clue is difficult without having access to physical lock/blanks combination to try out manually, even for a locksmith.

I would be surprised if anyone can guess all six of these keyways precisely at once.

its a lockwood, anyway, the key way was theirs once. it looks somewhat similiar to a yale999, but the keyway has just that extra flip at the top that easily identifies it as the old common lockwood keyway, that said, I hear about lockwoods from australians latly on the site, like its now an australian company, Is that the keyway for the common aussy lockwood?

The second set of "ID me" keyways look to be Best R,L,E,D, but your images are a bit fuzzy.

No, Yes, No, Yes

KLCD

I must say the angle on the first core makes it tough, and the third has me pretty stumped.

Ok, Ok, ummmm, I'm going to guess KLsomethingD

I bet I got at least half right.

That something is really annoying me. Perhaps B/P

Lockwood is and has been a very common brand of lock in Australia. They make a range of locks including padlocks, kik, deadbolts. They are NOT related to the Lockwood company that existed in America.

Lockwood Australia started here in Australia, but I believe they are now owned by Assa-Abloy. In fact Lockwood markets a "Lockwood Twin" - which is an Assa Twin, badged as a a Lockwood.

The most common, standard lockwood keyway (for mortice, rim, oval etc cylinders and larger padlocks) is the C4 keyway. The LW4 blank is for a 5 pinned lock, the LW5 for a 6 pinned lock. The shape of they keyway warding is NOT similar to the keyway pictured above. There are many restricted lockwood keyways also.

I tried, but cannot find a picture of a standard lockwood C4 keyway online. No doubt it will be in the ILCO catalogue. Looking for a LW4 or LW5 key should locate it.

Hint: It's a very common one.
B&P are not very common. The bottom four are very easy to guess they're BEST because of the outer shell. Any guess on the top 3

its an A keyway, Chucklz.

[Chucklz]

. I had dismissed A becuase that would be too easy. I admit, I eventually had to look at a catalog for the last two.

If you can get some better pictures, I would take a stab at the top three, but I'm not going to start guessing when I can hardly see the keyway.
