Help identifying type of key

[gluon]

Hello. I have come across a strange padlock i was hoping someone with more knowledge then myself could help out me out with. The key hole is round about 3/8" in diameter i would guess, looks to be about 1" deep. In the inside there are 6 slots on either side. I browsed the net looking at pictures of keys and i think the key to the very left in this attached picture would fit it. What are these locks called? Is this a standard key that will open all these style locks?



thanks

Hi and thanks for your question.

Is your padlock from the 1800's or does it look like 1950 and up? Look up Abloy padlock, Scandi padlock, or Rat tail padlock (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VM6Ea12S_FQ/Sjbzh7u11QI/AAAAAAAACwQ/KlQr4teTnj0/s400/1.jpg on Google Images and come back and tell us which it is.

Here is a drawing of some modern Abloy (Made in Finland) padlock keyways and keys: http://www.westsidelocks.com/images/abloy_key_system.jpg

Can you take a pic of your mystery padlock and post it on tinypic.com and post the http:// link here? We'd love to take a look at it.

Thanks

Defiantly a modern lock, i doubt its 10 years old. Now that i see your picture of the abloy i can see the core is likely missing on this lock... explains why the keyhole looked so strange haha.

il get a picture at my buddies some time
