Here's a Yale padlock i found on a dumpster. It seems to be a wafer padlock. I wanted to take it home but went with my better judgement, which was just to photograph it, and share with you guys! I'd love to know if its special or if its common. Please share your knowledge. Thanks!<-------SOUR
Sorry for the enlarged pictures. Photobucket was being slow so I just posted them with out resizing.

Is that a wafer padlock? I've got a similar one, twas nice and easy to pick, I just forget which way to add the tension. I can't seem to find it to photograph it, I may have returned it, my friends have taken to giving me locks without keys and saying "give it back when you have it open"

nice lock mate ive got on here somewhere that ya can have i think i have a key with it when i find it ill send it your way mate

Yep, you can see the first wafer.
