Timothy, I don't know the source of your pdf but the section on Lockwood is fraught with errors:

1. Lockwood was founded in South Norwalk, CT*
2. Purchased by Independent Lock Co. in 1932 and moved to Fitchburg, MA*
3. The Lockwood Hardware Mfg. Co. ceased operation in 1973*

*Locks and Lockmakers of America, Revised 3rd Edition by the late Thomas F. Hennessy, pg. 62-63

There is also an unrelated firm, Lockwood Australia; which is an ASSA ABLOY Group company.+
Additionally, Lockwood1878; a subsidiary of Gulfport Industries, Inc., apparently acquired rights to the marque and sells import builders' hardware in North America under the Lockwood brand.+

+my information which can be verified on the Internet

Timothy, also note that Ilco still makes mortise, rim and key-in-knob cylinders in the 1004/L1 Lockwood keyway for extending existing systems. Readily available through locksmith distribution.

the historical locks website is owned by Assa Abloy. Sounds like they need a history lesson!
