==Security and Picking==
Very few (if any) unmodified Lockwood locks use [[Security pin]]'s, and all Lockwood padlock plugs rotate in the same direction (Clockwise), making them relatively low security. 

However some Lockwood padlocks, such as the Lockwood 234/45 features an [[Interchangeable Core]], which can increase security, however these cores can be removed when the lock is open by simply using a screwdriver, rather than an interchange key / control key. This means that with access to an open padlock a key can be made to fit the lock through decoding.
