Lock listing

Add to me!

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, allowing keys to be created by decoding the core.
