For electrolysis, you would "unplate" the locks before replating them with a nice shiny new coat right? Because throwing on a coat of brass/zinc isn't going to do much with a layer of rust still in there. Regardless, some neat old padlocks there! Also good to see you already got that Skillman keyed up! And good luck finding a blank for the Sager, that thing has a pretty wonky keyway and I didn't see any markings on the lock itself to indicate which one it is.

My goal is just to get rid of all the rust. In the past I've just used the wire wheel on my bench grinder.
The Skillman was easy, Corbin 77 keyway. I have another Sager that is the same keyway, SA1/1047CR blank. Y3 also works.
