mercury I am familiar with Cotterill’s Climax Detector lock & thus the mechanism inside their Royal Climax Detector padlocks, but I am hoping to find out about the mechanism inside their Acme padlocks, like this one : http://restraintsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/edwin-cotterills-padlock.html?m=1 Any information about the nature of this locking mechanism would be much appreciated. …Mark
Paul Prescott I did have a safe lock and I’m sure others will too. It’s rather ordinary in fact, fairly standard levers and a bolt with two talons. The interesting bit is the way the key has been made.
Paul Prescott Turned on a lathe and then milled. All goes to make them a real pain to fabricate keys too.
