What kind of lock does this go to?

I supposed you could try bumping a wafer lock

Randomly influenced by the schlage key.

And bumping wafer locks: The reason that 'you might break the lock' warnings exist.

what would be the best type of lock to start out with as a beginner?

I supposed you could try bumping a wafer lock

...and try as you might. I will not 'bump' open. At least not until you contend with the base wafer.

There are two different keyways and a left and right variation of each.

You'll find them surprising easy to open with tool designed just for this lock.... surprising difficult (for a wafer lock anyways) without the tool.

You have a base wafer? Wow, your one of a kind. Don't worry about me tryng to bump you open, I happily don't swing that way...

I think he's referring to the retaining wafer Santos.

Thanks... What a relief.... I'll no longer worry about that!

Hmmm, looks like this post is running out of steam. Oh well, I'll post this picture anyway in case anyone is interested. This is a picture of the actual cylinder that goes with those keys and the 3 different types of tumblers it takes. Just ignore the other tumblers, they are for automobiles and regular cylinders.

As others have said, this is a wafer lock of rather old (but not collectible old) design. 1307 (SC6) or 1307W(SC22) I think is the Ilco # for the key.

[Mad Mick]

Yup Varj, 1307W is on the Ilco that I have.

How would those be rekeyed?

How would those be rekeyed?

The entire lockset has to be taken apart, starting with the inside knob. They aren't too hard, but it's always messy because they are all old and dirty.

Sounds like a tedious task.
