How do I find a lock matching a certain criteria?

I'm looking for an inexpensive lock with 5 standard pins. I'm sure that people here will have many suggestions for that specific lock, but I wasn't able to find any good Google results for "5 standard pin padlock", and I wasn't able to find anything on Amazon for similar search terms either.

Is there a site online that has a directory of locks where I would be able to put in my criteria and it would list which locks match? Or will I have to come "ask the experts" when I'm looking for something specific?

Thanks!

Kwikset (not SmartKey), Schlage (not SecureKey), Weiser, Sargent, Dexter, Defiant, Shield Security, Brinks to name a few.

Thanks xeo! But for the second part of the question - do you know of any kind of searchable, queryable catalog for locks?

Aside from reference books, no. You'd be looking at creative Google searches.
