Got home from work today 25 minutes ago and received an eagerly expected package with 3 Lockwood V7 locks. MANY thanks, rodmdx! No keys, but therein lies the fun. 5 minutes to greet the family first (or else!!!), then set up the vice. 15 minutes later...



Now time for to take a shower before I stink out the family. Then I'll tackle the other two and try making some keys, unless somebody here has or can get some Lockwood V7 blanks.

P.S. If you can get the correct blanks, please PM me! I want to get three, if possible. I will be doing the KW1 thing, but would like, if possible, to get the correct blanks.

Nice work!! Put spools in it!

Well done mate , didn't spp mine , just raked to false set then went in with a hook and popped the 2 security pins (2 mins) gave one to houdini and he did the same in about 1 minute .
I will have a go at spp'ing mine when i am not busy , bet i can't beat your time !

It feels like it has at least three of them. Will go field strip it and post the pics.

Would be interesting to see how a fully spooled V7 behaves.

I have three of the locks now. If they all have at least two or three (Graham Pulford says three is standard), I will have enough to try it out.

Gordon

my V7 had 4 spools, and was master keyed

Got it field stripped, it has 3 spools and is fully master pinned. All the masters were in the plug with the key pins.

Nice work Gordon!
