Yale Padlocks

Where can you buy a modern Yale padlock? I can't find them anywhere in New York or online.

Whatever search engine you were using must have failed you miserably...

Here's a Yale Padlock Catalog. I hope that helps you.

You can find a bunch of different Yale padlocks on Amazon. You can also find Yale dimple locks on eBay.

@tedwasright:

That catalog posted by Doctor Hexagon is really only valid for the UK, you can clearly see that all the dimensions are in metric units...

What you need to realize is that OEM Yale padlocks aren't usually kept in stock by anyone who sells them retail... You need to go find a locksmith who can place an order for one with a distributor that can throw together sub-assembled units they have in stock or place an order directly with the Yale factory to have a lock built for you...

Did you have a preference as to what type of Yale padlock you wanted ?

Go visit a locksmith and see what the lead time on ordering one would be... Sadly this isn't something which is going to be laying around on a shelf which you can touch, look at, decide to buy and be able to take home with you that same day...
