Hooply locks

OK,

I just sent an email to the fine folks at hooply.com asking if they shipped to the US, but I was wondering, first, if anyone on here has seen, used or picked one of these locks:

(only two pictures I can really find of them)

it appears to be a dimple lock of some sort with a transponder in it... or so says the description

by **Schuyler** » 9 Apr 2007 9:32

the transponder text seems to stay up with most of the links, do you think it has the three sets of pins the picture seems to indicate? The key doesn't look as complex as the body of the lock does.

to me it seems two maybe three... i'd be hedging my bets on two though

is that to work as a euro cylinder? the second photo makes it look more likely would seem to have three bibles with the brass caps on the outside of the body. but the key is flat dimpled, so pins ride on the edges as well as the flat of the key.

I thought so, too, and admittedly the pictures aren't very well detailed, but the flats of the keys in the first picture don't seem to have any marks on them. I mean, maybe those are just blanks? Or the picture just isn't detailed enough? I could believe either.

Those locks are made by Zhejiang Hongli Locks Co. Ltd.

Thanks, Shrub, that second picture you've got makes me even more interested. I can't navigate that site to save my life though, so I'm hoping the hoopy.cn folks will get back to me.

Ive added a couple more links, ive found the link to the lock on the site,

I'd be interested in getting one depending upon the price...

by **Schuyler** » 9 Apr 2007 13:27

sent an inquiry to their account at made-in-china, we'll see what either firm has to say.

im with n2oah, if the price is right ill be looking at one. let us know what you find out.

I hope it goes through, I'd like to have those on my doors. Usually, though, those chinese-based companies want you to order a million at a time.
