When I was in High School, a friend of mine had a padlock on his locker that had a typical appearance.
The kicker was that no key inserted into the keyway would work. The lock opened by pushing the nameplate from left to right.
A shim would probably have worked, but he would insert a key and pretend he was opening it as he pressed the nameplate.
Anyone ever hear of this and if so could I still get one?
