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

I believe I made the mistake in all pictures and that the lock originally had the serrations on the opposite side of the shear line. But now I'm not sure anymore :oops:

Anyway, glad you guys liked the post! 8)

Referring to the thread on a tubular lock puller, I cannot see how this lock could ever be pulled, unless you ripped the entire lock out the appliance.
