Yale Cabinet Lock

[jruther2]

This is a Yale lock I bought off Ebay. It was listed as a cabinet lock...not sure if that is accurate or not. It has some really interesting serrated pins so I thought I would show some pics.

Nice score man... those pins look nasty. Cool lock though, I bet it was a fun pick for sure!

Question for you guys since I'm not as knowledgeable on this. What are spiders and cobwebs as far as pins are concerned?

EDIT: Disregard, i feel like a complete for asking that. Hahaha, wow...stupid.

I think you will find that they are talking about REAL spiders and cobwebs

That's from a safe deposit box lock. The pins where serrated in those locks and others of that kind of vintage. (Pre 1939 I think)
