OT: Wilson Bohannan USA-made brass locks

[robroy]

Good day,

I recently had a need for some small, low-security locks, and a look through The Home Depot yielded nothing but China-made junk. I didn't have the heart to buy any of that stuff.

I then searched for USA-made locks online and found The Wilson Bohannan Company. I ordered two R001 "TopBrass" padlocks, keyed alike. The cost was $6.82 each, for a total of $21.47 after shipping. I felt a little skeptical about such cheap locks, considering that most of the China-made locks at The Home Depot were priced higher.

I was so impressed with these little beauties that I figured I'd make this post to let y'all know about them. They feel wonderfully precise when operated, and I dig their unadorned, straightforward style.

I like they have a number on the lock and key, Makes it much easyer to find the key when theres 40 on a key chain.
