Re: cylinder locks
I watched an online video of some guy as he picked around ten Master locks of all sizes including a round lock (traditional key type) in about 3 minutes total. You can go on line and purchase a set of lock picks for cylinder locks. You can even find a video on how to use them. If you buy some lock picks you won't have to drill your doors anymore. Of course if anyone finds out that you can pick their locks, that is another bowl of worms.
We use dimple round locks. I'm sure that someone somewhere has a picking device for them although I have not found it yet.

Re: cylinder locks
We only sell cylinder locks. We are in the business of making money so we do not give them away. We sell them for $12.95 on up. Our lease requires all units to be locked at the time of renting. We explain how much safer cylinder locks are and sell one to 9 out of ten new renters. We do not have master keys. If some one looses their key we charge them $50 to cut it off. we use a grinder to cut off - much easier than drilling out.
Make your facility stand out sell and promote only cylinder locks for profit and safety!Marc Goodin

Re: cylinder locks
We charge a $20 deposit for any new customer. For this we give the customer a cylinder lock to use. If they return the lock with all 3 keys and leave the unit clean we give them their $20 back. We use to sell the lock but we believe that having a client give us the lock back (instead of us drilling the lock out) and knowing they are done, along with leaving a clean unit for us.... was well worth it. We were having lots of issues with people just leaving their locks on units when they moved out.

Re: cylinder locks
Well, we use them and I will suggest you all to use cylinder locks, it may contain any of a variety of locking mechanisms, including the pin tumbler lock, the wafer tumbler lock and the disc tumbler lock.
