    Default Found a couple of Heavy Duty Padlocks

    Will have to sort through all my old forgotten stuff more often, looking for two Chubb Fortess and uncovered these beauties.

    Had forgotten how heavy the Rotalok's and K300 Yales were, serious hi-security lumps. Also found a nice small box of 1K42 Ava's.

    Amazing that none of the manufacturers seemed able to make a rubber or plastic bumper that actually lasted. The Yale's crumbled purely with age and fell to bits as I took it out of the box, bringing back memories of Cisa's, Master's and Squire's that all did the same!

    Interesting, I didn't know that some of the ava padlocks were 9 disc and some ten.

    Gary, think you saw the 9 disc Ava over in the thread on the Ava push-in locks, but posted your reply on this one. I'll add the 1K61 pic here as well.
