This seems to be a version of the lock described in the following article from the trade journal "Sheet Metal Industries" (vol. 60, 1982): _"A new type of locking system has been introduced by Salsbury Locks Ltd. Salsbury Locks has designed a lock that is claimed to be easy to service and that could be easily and quickly changed to operate with a different key when necessary. The result is known as the segmented instant differ cylinder system, in which the number of combinations possible is up to 4000 million. The locks operate with a dual-bladed key, which can be split in two if required so that the lock remains secure unless attended by both keyholders. Another advantage of the cylinder is that it is made in four lengths, which enables the user to select and control which personnel have access to different parts of an organisation."_ Salsbury Locks converted from a private to a public limited company (plc) in March 1984, but were recorded as dissolved by 1989. The lock is presumably an example of the design for which a US patent was applied by Michael A. Salsbury of South Godstone, England, in 1981 and granted (# 4429555) in February 1984.

4 billion possibility's would mean 16 tooths on each side, sounds more like a concept than a working product. but if they do make longer cilinders than this one and the frst 2 tooths of the key are identical to this one i think it is possible that its about the same product.

My father Michael Salsbury designed this unique padlock in the early eighties as well as door locks, and I can see from the comment below from PastPresented, they have done some research and found out some information about Salsbury Locks, so thank you for sharing. Thank you also to LockPickingLawyer for sharing the dismantling and reassembly of the padlock! Michael Salsbury started a company called Multikey Security Services Ltd 50 years ago and it is still going strong, being run by my brother. He then set up Salsbury Locks which sadly dissolved by 1989. My father passed away a couple of years ago but would be chuffed to see one of his creations being played on KZitem!

Perhaps this was an experiment into the pad lock business ?? The company is a major supplier of mailbox security locks and the box units and lockers for institutional and industrial use. Wafer locks seem to be the majority of their product. Perhaps an email to the company would shed some light on this unique lock.

I was an Artificer in the Royal Navy and that is the kind of complexity of pieces apprentices had to learn.The other possibility is that it was a "lock designer apprentice piece" but not your average run of the mill lock as that would have taken many, many hours to make- and so would have been prohibitively expensive to produce for general sale -considering how easily you picked it, it's security rating would have made it un-viable to produce.

Check out Lock Noob's channel. He does picking videos and usually guts the locks after picking them. He also has a second channel, "Side Noob", where he does reassembly videos if the lock is really interesting. A bunch of other locksport channels also do teardown/gut/disassembly of locks after picking them. Another channel besides Lock Noob that I really like and just discovered recently is called "Joe Picks Locksport". His videos are really similar to LPL to me, because he does picking videos, takes the locks apart, and has a really nice voice lol. I think he's done reassembly on a few locks, but not many.

As to that ring, it may be there to prevent the lock jamming if the top is inserted too tight. Being that the body is 100% brass if you tighten that too too much it could jam tightly requiring tools to loosen it up, the ring provides two separate surfaces that prevents that from happening.

That sounds right but instead of the body jamming, I think it would actually bind up the locking mechanism it it was screwed too tightly.

Many years ago when I was very young and interested in being a mechanic, I had a typewriter with a sticky W key. Each key had flat washers and spacers on each side. In an attempt to fix it, I pulled the long pivot rod out. Needless to say, what looked like millions of washers, spacers, key levers, and God knows what fell down into the typewriter. I slowly closed the lid and threw the whole thing in the trash. That lock falling apart gave me PTSD. LOL.

This is one of the best locks I've ever seen on this channel from a pure engineering perspective. Disc detainer locks are generally pretty solid modern locks, but this one is extremely well designed for how old it is. The fact it can be physically rekeyed using gear teeth makes it quite unique. The only improvement I can think of is to have the threads perfectly aligned so that the set screw is largely unnecessary.

I've got very distant, slightly vague recolections of a similar looking lock, without the shackle part, securing the safety and cover plates of an engineering milling machine, (mounted horizontally) Looking at the lock you have, the screw in shackle part looks like it's made from a different grade of brass. Also, I'd hazard a guess that that loose brass ring is supposed to be sandwiched between two rubber bush rings to keep out dirt and engineering swarf. The one I remember seeing was made out of chromed steel and had knurls around the outside to unscrew the 'lock' once the key was inserted. Whether that's what you have here or not, it's still a very nicely made rekeyable lock, probably handmade on a lathe. Someone with great traditional English engineering skills made that. You should treat it like a museum piece. Thankyou to whoever sent it to you, and Thankyou for sharing it.

That's what impressed me about this design. From a production standpoint it is quite ingenious. The circular design combined with the notched brackets means that you only need to produce a very limited number of different parts in order to cover the full spectrum of configurations, and every lock made uses the same set of parts. Logistically, it must have made the production process much simpler than with more standard lock designs. I would assume that the production facility also featured specialized brackets/vises to make assembly easier than the "free floating" assembly LPL performed here.

The fact that the name on the lock is “Salsbury” rather than “Salisbury” as the UK city is actually spelled immediately made me think that it might not actually be British but rather from some former colony. Since Salsbury industries has been making things with locks since 1936 it doesn’t seem too implausible that they might have made this at some point.
