a1abdjLooks like a mortise cylinder.

lopezpIt doesn't have the mortise cuts, but the body is just like that of a cam lock. There is a threaded collar that secures the body. The difference is the little nub sticks up.

a1abdjHow big is it? Small like a cam lock?

lopezpYes, it's small like a cam lock. Just under an inch long, maybe 3/4" wide. Seems the only difference from a cam lock is that it doesn't have the rotating tab, just the little nub. This lock came off of a Stowline rifle safe

Some ShotCouldn't a locksmith make a new key for it?

MWillsI would think a locksmith could make a new key but I'm no expert.
I'm also a bit slow
I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one. March 04, 2018, 03:57 PM
rbert0005I don’t know what it is, and I don’t need to meet any local Asian chicks either.

I am no expert, but think I am sometimes.

THIS ^^^^^
I bought a used truck once that had a locked toolbox on it and the lock looked a whole lot like that.
I removed the locked box from the truck and took it to a local locksmith. He picked the lock to open it, then made 2 new keys to fit it without rekeying the lock, he charged me less then 6 bucks... including the two new keys, but that was a few years ago...
If it ain't woke... don't fix it. March 04, 2018, 08:49 PM

In Texas, we'd just take it to the local locksmith and exclaim, "I need one of these here sum bitches"
