Can Anyone Identify This Lock?
Saturday, June 14, 2008 at 9:43PM Can anyone identify the make and model of this lock?
The only markings are three upside down “V” inside a box, looks like sergeant's stripes from the military. Also note the square keyway with no warding.
I could not get a good look inside the keyway. But from what I could see it looks like it either had large pins along the top or possibly on the top of the left side of the keyway. I suspect it is a dimple lock of some sort.
Anyone information would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Matt

Why are you taking pictures of my gun closet?
So when can I come over and figure out how to by-pass this lock? I promise I'll leave all the shiny things inside the safe when I'm done.
Three chevrons? Maybe Sargent Lock? Key entry looks a bit like this:

Just a guess...
It is a KESO lock, manufactured by Sargent. Usually found on banks and museums. It would be operated by a dimple key and has a 3-way pin system (pins from the left, right and top).
This will tell you all about it:
