Hello guys-
A coworker of mine has this padlock and asked me if I would be able to get him a key for it. I don't know if blanks are available, or if it could be impressioned.
Any help would be appreciated!

jeff, you should be able to look through the top, where the shackle is secured, and see the levers that are locking the shackle down. all you gotta do is find a key blank that fits, and cut it down so that the key passes under the warding (little spacers discs inside) but high enough so the bitting raises the levers up and freeing the shackle. Most often with these lever locks, the levers are all raised to the same height. Its the warding cuts that are most important. My advice is to find a blank and smoke the key. Then impression till you get a bearing on where your wards are. Then when your making the lever cuts, watch ur progress through the top of the lock.
EDIT: Ive added This link http://youtu.be/RqK15Rs4Pks?t=1m To show what your key MAY look like. It definitely has the right split in the middle, but of course your cuts will vary.

The top of the lock is totally closed off. I can't see anything in the tiny space in front of the shackle.

Sour, I watched your video with the cutaway, very interesting. I had no idea how these locks worked!
I actually found a small piece of metal that fits perfectly in the keyway, even has the notch. However I don't see anything moving around.

Looks like the blank is ilco 667 or similar
