Drilled lock?

Postby sisk » 17 Jun 2016 17:01

So super-noob question here and yes I think I know the answer but I want to make sure. In a box of locks I bought off EBay there's a lock that's been drilled out. Both the cylinder and the bible were damaged in the process. Is there anything to be learned from it or should I just throw it away?

I dunno. These locks ended up costing under $2 a piece and some of them are pretty decent. Nothing crazy like Medecos or anything, but I've got some that were probably around $30 new in here. I don't think having one drilled out lock in the bottom of the box is a problem.
