Very excited to finally share my first ever lock porn moment and at the same time to share my very first ASSA Twin. I have been hunting for one of these for some time now and finally got it. I had the body already here waiting for the core and when "two became one" (little spice girls for your morning pleasures) magic happened lol.

If anyone can help identify this core I would be grateful. Jeff Moss, who provided the core, also gave me a huge write up by TOoOL about the Twin family which is near 60-70 pages lol so I am slowly making my way. What I have gather so far is that I need to gut this lock to see what features are there and only then be able to determine what core it really is. Hopefully I am wrong

I want to call this creation ASSA-MERICAN. DO share if you have any better names.

Sweet lock. It looks like a regular Twin 6000. Have you picked on it at all?

For some reason, this reminds me of a guy I know in Delaware... he (somehow) retrofitted a blown Chevy small block into his Miata.

Nice lock!

I want to see a Kwikset KW1 5 pinner put into an S&G padlock.

Hahaha yea I would want to see that too and no I didnt have any time to pick it plus kinda scared of it lol. I decided to read more about it before I dive in.

I'm not man enough to gut an Assa Twin. LOL

There's been an Environmental popping up every once in a while on ebay with no core. You have no idea how badly I want to buy that and mod it to fit a 4 pin Master Lock cylinder in it just to mess with ol' Papa Gleb here! Hahaha.

Hahahaha yea that is so true. The Butcher and Master have a relationship beyond my understanding. He always threatens me to stick a 4 pin master core in crazy stuff like S&G etc. I think he even entwined into a Ruko padlock one time lol
