unknown door lock - double cut to[ and bottom

[hagentj]

hello,

I am new here. signed in today for the first time.

I have a question regarding a lock I have on my house. I normally have not seen this style of key before. I have lived with this lock since 1996 whien I moved into my house.

any ideas / thoughts are appreciated.

May be wrong, but pretty sure that is a Schlage wafer lock.

That's a double sided wafer lock. I've seen those on cam locks for tools boxes and things like that but never in a knob lock. Interesting...

I flipped through the Ilco catalog since I know I've seen blanks like that before and these are the ones I saw that are similar.

Ilco 755U for Arrow
Ilco 750 for Dominion Lock
Ilco 750 for Fort Lock

The Fort is probably the cam locks I mentioned so it might be an Arrow or Dominion. I think it's pretty old either way.

Found a fantastic website that has some information on that lock!

I thought it was a Schlage wafer as well, but I have one in front of me and the keyway on the Schlage is more like the W of Whattaburger,


the keyway milling on my key doesnt jive with the OPs photos.. the door knob itself seems.. more like an 80's Kwikset than a Schlage.. did Kwikset have a competing wafer product at that time? btw, my Schlage key is stamped 927W

That is an odd one for sure! Looks like a Fort 750 as the others have said.

thank you all for your input.

oringinal Schlage A series lock in Tulip knob with W series cylinder. probably about 50 years old.

They are all the same lock, just different branding.

Looks like a Brandywine style rather than a tulip. Not a Schlage A or W though, the key is too short.

Never seen an Arrow knob that uses a wafer but the key looks more like an Arrow. Dominion is possible if it is in Canada. Should be a name on the latch.
