Depending on where ya live that could be a Yale or a Lockwood key or many other keys but the nice thing about picking a lock is ya don't need a key to do it

Thanks.

Looks like a yale para from the picture. Possibly something else. Like billdeserthills said, the you don't need a key to pick it.

That is a Nacho Lock keyway.


Looks like a commercial knob on a commercial door, and I doubt it's yours to be picking.
