greengrowlocks, I've been long considering the purchase of a Marks high security cylinder to play around with, mind if I ask where you got yours from?


The only place I could find them online was this site -> shop.lockarmor.com. This is my first order from them and the site only sells a few different products. I have wanted one for awhile as well but they never seem to come up on ebay.

For some reason they only sell them in pairs (two cylinders, 4 keys) so I had to get two cylinders. I've already made a special pick in .012" for the sidebar but waiting to finish it until I see the locks in person.


Thanks for the link. After a bit more searching, I found this place as well:

Never dealt with them before, anyone have any experience? It's not Marks, but it's the same thing. I find it really interesting that they're selling blanks for those as well, I would have thought those would all be restricted... It'd be really cool to be able to cut my own high security keys. :D
