    Default Padlock identification

    Hello all,
    Would someone be able to tell me what this lock was used for or a brand name.

    Just picked it up at a garage sale.

    Generically that is called a screw lock. More specifically it's probably made by Raco for low-security railroad applications such as battery boxes. I've also seen them securing access doors on signal lights (for replacing bulbs and/or access to wiring).
