Identify this lock?

[TANGO]

Can someone identify this lock? Its non descript. No name or number. Its an interesting lock though because you have pins on the top and pins on the bottom.

I had to show off my new home made picks!

have you looked on the key?

btw. nice picks

[TANGO]

The key is blank, I forgot to say its written "Mcgraw Edison" on the flap, my internet search came up empty.

Thanks for the compliment!

Where's the edit function?

Hi TANGO Welcome to Lockpicking!

I can't identify the lock, but what's that thing sticking out from the side?
It looks broken!

Good work on the home brew!

Its the way its made, not broken at all, the flap prevents rain and ice to freeze the lock.

It also appears to be a wafer cylinder.

with a Chicago style mechanism. If it is not coded, see if you can find a blank and impression it.

The key for the lock is the one holding the flap open in the above picture.

Looks like a clone of an American Lock company "plate wafer" lock.

It is very easy to pick this wafer lock. I have a few of them, the first one that has and old cylinder and I can open with a hook. The newer one I can only pick it with my half round. It takes about 5-10 second to open. Surprisingly they give a small challenge to a pair of 24" professional bolt cutters.
