Lockwood originated as an Australian manufacturer and supplier of locks and lock mechanisms, in 1999 ASSA-Abloy purchased a 50% share in Lockwood, and assumed full ownership in 2001.
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.
