I’ll hope!

I could be totally off base, but I seem to remember seeing that the OC-5 friction fence has a light coil spring inside. I think I had seen one that had fallen apart.madsamurai wrote:Oldfast, you're right, it would be easy to figure out if I had one, but for as much as everyone says they're fairly common, I've not found one for myself yet.
It seems they are common on safes, but hard to find as stand-alone locks, and rather pricey when found. That's been my observation so far.
