    Default Double post keys

    I came across an ebay lot of keys which included a couple of keys with two posts. I was wondering how they worked, and what sort of lock they were for. Thanks for any information!

    These keys are commonly seen on some lever padlocks.

    If you look at item LI1G at http://www.1st-net-lock-museum.com/li1.htm you can see an example of such a padlock.

    Hope that helps,
