Had a customer come into the shop today with a lock I did not think I had a key for. I traded him cylinders to get him going and after some digging found the proper key blank for the cylinder and made a key for it. Here is about all the info I could find on Barrows on the internet. And no I have not picked it YET!!

"Sager Lock Works And Barrows Lock Works, Divisions Of The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, a Corporation, And Builders' Hardware Workers Of Waukegan, Illinois, a Corporation, 967 (1940)"

nice lock that looks like a challenge to pick with that keyway

Nice find, Kokomo! I did a ton of those when I was in Lafayette and Cincinnati.

Nice lock kokomo, I really like it... has a lot of character. If Yale is responsible for it, that'd certainly explain why you haven't gotten it yet... those things just don't like you do they?

Very cool lock, love that key way, lots of fun. Securities?

Thanks for that!!! I probably will never pick it since it was made by the Yale Company!! No there are no security pins in it!

Groovy lock there bub! Dig the wavy keyway too!

Haha you'll get it, if you can do their new BS ones you can do this thing easy

I've forgotten a lot of stuff over the last couple decades; but I seem to remember a sort of serrated top pin used in those old locks.

Not in this one, I wish it had some crazy security pins. Here a couple of pictures of the pins, also the plug is the larger .560" diameter.

Yup...it's been rekeyed.
