I picked up an old padlock to use on an antique Mexican curio cabinet. It is not meant to lock the cabinet but just for ascetics. The shackle swings freely , I hang it from a chain on the cabinet doors. Now I would like to find out about the lock. Also wondering if it is possible to get a key for it. There are no markings on it and the keyhole cover is quite scratched up.
Can anyone get me started on my research?
