AMERICAN Series 20 NoN-Rekeyable padlock keyed,& Refurbished

[awol70]

this lock was destined for brass recyclyng,as it was deemed "unpickable",and not even worth trying to open due to the fact the retaining bolt is actually a rivet.
picked open, drilled retaining bolt,replaced it,punched a key,
and lubed + a lil' elbow grease,and here are the results.
(IMHO a great little lock,and a KILLER to pick!)
EDIT:
pics are WAYY outta order.
thr effects of oxycontin and alcohol ....=/

I really like this lock. I've always been into the wear and tear look and being redone by awol means it works like the day it was bought I'm guessing.

A nice addition to yer collection, man, excellent work as always!

this is how i do it W/O the punch... =) (starting to get my time down....it used to take me a 1/2 hr
hand file a key..now around 10 or so minutes
i consider this file my most valued tool.
but ,dam, the punch is a great machine....
simplicity defined.
