I personally think the Kirk is one of the best wild locks posted here thus far. I have NEVER seen a wild Kirk! Great find logan!!

Cool find Logan!! Can I ask... what its that being used on? Also, I can't quite tell... how is it secured to that shaft?

I was at the carwash today an saw this is this a bi-lock

I've seen those kirk interlocks on electrical switchgear and transformers.

Whatever it controlled has been gone for quite some time, so I really don't know just what it controlled in the old power station.
It's bolted to a plate thats welded onto the shaft but the shaft is fixed and the bolt of the interlock protrudes straight down so whatever it controlled had to at one time been right there, I'm assuming.
*edit* In the context of the location I'd say JeffMoss26's answer is dead bang

Here's one that you never see in use! This is an OLD Sterling Bullring Padlock. These are warded locks and this one is locking an electric/gas box at a McDonalds in a po'dunk town in Missouri. I was very tempted to steal it, but I respect ethics and laws. It would've been too easy

those are some pretty cool locks. the locks on all parking meters here are Madeco, and strangely enough, all the "Free newspaper" stands have ASSA locks. i should take a few pics of them and post them here

Last night I walked over to the soda machines across from my fathers house and noticed the locks were Medeco instead of the Abloy I usually see. It was interesting to know that I can pick those fairly fast. Some people around here are lucky I'm ethical as well.

I was able to go to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge the other day but on the way up i saw this DOM i think its a dimple lock? And a Best on the door that locks the tower.

Wow! Top notch hunting!!! That best lock is very interesting and thats definitely a dimple DOM

Holy crap, how did you get to go up there?

I have a good friend that works on the bridge and a couple times a year he's allowd to take people up there it was a lot of fun.

Found this one on an electric pole near a Geocache

... and the 2 Medico's at the store; one on the front door and the other on a vending machine.

I don't know if this is a "rare" lock but the name changed to "C.D.F." "California Department of Forestry" long ago...

I never knew it once was called "California Department of Conservation Division of Forestry" note the hand stamped info on lock not exactly lined up, old school...

I guess you could call it a lock in the wild
as it is in the National forest in a hard to get to place, I don't know what is on the other side of the elaborate gate and fence yet?



To get there a regular vehicle would have troubles, this is how we roll...

same on you logan. you misspelled medeco
