timof5stars Let’s get right to the images: Dimensions: 2.115 inches wide x 3.250 inches in height x 0.940 inches thick Shackle is 0.380 in diameter and rises 1.50 inches above lock body. Width is 1.790 inches Key is 2.060 inches in length and marked with “CURTIS IND CLEVE, OHIO” Stamped with “L-2” (Blank number?) Weight is 12.4 ounces (352 grams) OK then, comments? Any bad news? I assume the key is not original? (But at least it functions quite well.) Thanks
Dean Nickel l-2 is the curtis blank number. That isn’t the right key for that lock but very close as I think that blank from Yale was a restricted keyway. But what works, works. Finding an OEM blank might prove a bit harder is what I am trying to say. That looks like Yale made a special Nickel plated lock for use on the rail roads but in this case it never got what Signal department it was used in as it might be a city instead of a RR.
Billy B Edwards Jr. CML Dean Nickel wrotel-2 is the curtis blank number. That isn’t the right key for that lock but very close as I think that blank from Yale was a restricted keyway. But what works, works. Finding an OEM blank might prove a bit harder is what I am trying to say. It’s real. I have, or had a Nickel Plate RR lock of my own. They were made for the Nickel Plate RR. As Dean says, not the right blank but it bypasses the keyway wards and that works. BBE. [unknown]
