Received an Ilco Brass Padlock from my mate William Mancel. Had a non functioning key so why not have a crack at making the key work. It was my first American Ilco so it was all a new experience. Had a few hiccups along the journey but in the end we got it done. Thanks to William for giving me the opportunity to make this Ilco breath again.

Awesome exploration and development of a vintage ILCO
I watched every minute of it at times I was at the edge of my seat but that was only natural.
Thanks for sharing

Fantastic refurbishment Paul, great to see the process.Have a good one. 👍

Thanks Daz:-)

[@tipenengapuhi]

Really interesting watching you strip and reassemble that old Ilco 👍

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Tipene. Stay well:-)

Great video Paul. Don't worry about the length. If people don't want to watch a slightly longer video and become educated that is their loss. Thank you for taking the time I appreciate it very much.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Rob. Appreciate the support:-)

Great job dissecting the Ilco & reassembly. The only two I have taken apart were 6 pin cores pinned up for 5. The first one I did only had 4 pins in it. All of them i have seen have master wafers. Yours is the first 5 pin only core I've seen. For myself, it's always interesting to see how they put together old locks. I like your genuine wooden follower. 👍 Great screw replacement. I believe those Ilco's were first being made in the 1930's. Ilco bought out Lockwood in 1972. I would guess their age to be made in the 1930's through 1950's.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks William. Good information and for its age it has stood the test of time well:-)

[@RookieLock]

I love your keymaking series! Especially on locks that don't have a usual "disassembly" method, lol. Always learning something new, thanks for sharing buddy!

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Rookie:-)

[@iowapanner2223]

Just like new inside now! Great job, thanks for sharing.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Iowa. Stay well:-)

[@kaos_N_keys]

It seemed like a short video to me, loved every minute of it!
The learning on the go was very streamlined, it just shows your great experience, patience
and know how.... great stuff mate no bs at in your videos.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Kaos. Have a good one:-)

Thanks RK:-)

[@lowellforbes3208]

Very nice brass ilco. Thank you for showing

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Lowell:-)

[@PocketWomen]

A beautiful old Ilco, a nice one for your 'collection'. An old Ilco lock to add to your resume, good to see an old Locky learning new tricks, lol, Cheers mate

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks PW. We only stop learning when we're gone. Have a safe one#taketheredpill:-)

[@chaz2785]

Well done👍👍
I love these old style padlocks. I just purchased an old Yale padlock of this style and it has no key so this will be very helpful for me to re key the lock. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Chaz. You'll be ok making your key. If i can do it anyone can:-)

[@mattoliverau]

Nice tear down Paul, interesting to see how that padlock words! And that damn cheeky cat trying to steal the show, might have to threaten to sent it home :P

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Matt. Yeah, the cat is after attention mate:-)

[@purpleskull435]

This old locks are really cool. Ecpecially when you take them apart, we can all get to see the internals of how old locks work. Really great video buddy. By the way, I'm sorry I haven't been around alot latley. I am an essential worker at a grocery store so I have been working alot. Have a wonderful week and stay safe

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks PS. No worries being around. Hang tight with your package mate:-)

[@purpleskull435]

@@crankylock7844 I am :) I'm not inpatient, ecpecially in this time I know it will take longer. It get here when it gets here. Thanks again Paul!

[@funkeyfastdrawmonkey1483]

Great vid mate. I've had a few of these ilcos. Once you punch those pins, you do have to pick them again or they won't come apart. Can be a real pain pain.
The few that i have all are 6 pin and had an old USA restricted lockwood keyway, think it's A1015R or a A1015M key which is the master profile.
Pretty simplistic and well thought out locks for their age.
Some I've re-keyed had odd looking fine serated drivers.
Cheers for the great vid mate 🍺🍺🐵👍

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Funkey. Hope you're well mate:-)

[@Mur-lock68]

Bloody Hell Paul.I was yelling don't lock the shackle mate lol
Great work Paul same set up as Yale 840 I did on my main Page!
Love the Raw videos Paul,awesome job on the ol lLco mate!
Your Now a certified Vintage Ilco/Yale vintage lock repair and restoration pro!!
Actually a bit less complex than the Yale because you dont have the 2 spring loaded locking Palls sitting on the actuator that have to be removed before you can get to core so yeah ,great to see the difference I have not worked on an ilco yet.
Cheers my friend!!

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Mur. Yeah, they are fairly straight forward once you navigate into the lock. I haven't got a Yale vintage but i have seen a video on the internals you mentioned. I think it may have been William:-)

[@Mur-lock68]

In Video 201 I did a very raw tear down like you did of the Yale 840 Super Pin tumbler,I was just like you,William also did
In vid 223 I show completed internals after rekey/repin and pick
Like the Ilco style better lol less the spring loaded Palls that are a pain and cannot be removed until lock is in open position!
Thanks for feedback Paul!
Please stay safe mate!!

[@thumperlockpicking9269]

You my friend are a padlock guru! Naughty locks cringe when they see you coming.

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Chris. There;s William Mancel and Doug that are well versed in these locks more than me. Have a good one:-)

[@two_tier_gary_rumain]

You gonna linish that or what?

[@crankylock7844]

Thanks Gary. Yeah, i will. I'll add it to the list:-)
