Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Guess the lock - noobs to lever locks only

OK - took this rarely seen lock off a door today - anyone guess make? The bulge in the case under the keyway should help.

I will post a pic of key if no correct guesses.

There is a prize of a weekend for one in the Caribbean in my timeshare for the winner - my decision is final.

Does the winner end up having to buy some timeshare too?
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Top marks - are you free May 18th/19th 2019 to collect your prize? :wink:

And the key:-

Surprisingly, this was fitted as new on an apartment less than 3 years old.

Well it was fitted to the front door of an apartment complex so was not exposed to any weathering. It just seemed an odd choice of lock to fit, given that I have never seen one before.

The warding makes it a 'two wires' pick only, as the 2-in-1 cant turn under all levers. No anti-pick notches though.
