    Default Willis & Co - Timlins

    This is a very interesting lock that I have and haven't a great deal of information on.

    The cover of both locks has -
    TIMLINS
    Pat No - 4940
    21-12-21
    Willis & Co
    Agents

    I believe it to be a locally made (Australian) lock. Has 6 "H" gated levers, pick resistance.

    Default this is the second lock

    This is the second lock, basically the same except for the keyway.

    Interesting, never seen anything quite like it before. The lower lock with the six fixings and the two keyways must have been retrofitted to a Ratner or Milner safe .

    Quite possible.
    I have never seen this arangement before either. It should serve to both hamper bolt punching and picking

    With Willis and other Safe Manufacturers of the time, regularly only 2 of multiple mount holes would have screws. Manufacturers of the lock puts some holes in then the safe manufacturer adds some to suit their preferred mounting.
