    Timothy, I picked up a can of the Monolex 1059 spray this morning.
    I sprayed the two padlocks and a number of others that I have.
    I will let them sit overnight and try them in the morning.
    I'll let you know how it goes.

    Great! Remember just take it slow and do it step at a time. If still don't work only if you have air compression to blow it out and lubricant it again. It does take time to do it it may take a week or month. I has one a while back it been two month as finally got it. Just have to be patient to do it.....Timothy......

    Not sure if you have done this before or see the inside of the plug. Here picture of what may look like for Yale as this one it four pins as remind you some of these lock have a large pin on the last plug. The top pins don't remember of what they call but there may be in your lock.....Timothy....Got the picture from another forum....

    Thanks Nathan, I'll keep that in mind.
    The problem with these two locks is that in each there is one pin that I cannot even move.
    Hope lots of lube will help, it did with a different lock.

    Well I wish I could have all those push key padlock. It there not too many antique store carry them. I used to go to antique show but never has time getting there. I was trying to find the Corbin push key padlock but all know how hard to find these padlock and so many company have made it. I know they are on eBay but I just don't trust them and most time price are too high.......Timothy.....
