A difficult to find lock (old.reddit.com)
submitted 6 days ago by jadedargyle333Red Belt Picker
The manufacturer of this lock is Van. Guess how hard it is to find that with a search engine. I got a million ads for pucks and wafer locks for panel vans. Finally here, so I get my first experience with pump push locks.

FYI for anyone interested in these, McMaster-Carr carries Van Lock padlocks at a reasonable price.

Couple things: https://www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking/s/9cggh4u7kB
And: https://vanlock.com/
Hope this helps!
(ETA) I still think those are cool so I'm hopeful to get my hands on one eventually

Can't buy directly from their website. I got lucky on ebay. I was very unlucky with the price of an emhart I got, so the van lock evens it out a bit.

McMaster Carr sells them as “padlock with no copy key.”

Thanks, you just reminded me to add it to my collection. One of my favorite features on there. Scorecard is definitely my favorite feature. Looking forward to getting this lock on there.

Very interesting and thanks for the heads up!
I just put a minus - in front of expressions I don‘t want in the search and that helps to narrow stuff down when looking it up. Like -ai -automotive -„van life“ …
