My 3 YALEs...

Rarer than hen's teeth; or maybe not. Unpeened, unbitted and unused...

Those must be quite easy to pick. How about adding some challenge by repinning them?

Cheers :)

Hello to you femurat; it is indeed easy to pick. A stern look is usually enough to open it!

But I'd have to take the whole lock to pieces to re-pin it, and I really don't want to compromise its present state of being unpeened with unbitted keys. It'll just stay in my Yale collection as it is...

Well, from a collector's point of view you're right, it's rare and should stay like that.

Cheers :)

They are still made and you can order them like that but it is not a common option.

Gorgeous! and good info from you @Riyame. Can you get them with uncut/unbitted keys as well?
