Fediverse Question (especially for hackers, burglars, lockpickers, and miscreants):
What is that name of this lock?
I need to replace it. And I need to know what to type into the search bar to replace it.
(The lock mechanism uses wafers. But I'm not looking for a "wafer lock" - like... I can't put a cabinet wafer lock on this).
It's used for locked glass bulletin boards (physical boards). I dont want to buy a new board. I just need to replace the lock. We can pick it open (and pick it closed) but not everyone knows how to jiggle a jiggler.
(side question... I dont even need to replace the lock if it has a standard key)
(Edit. Maybe if I added the pictures that would help)

Maybe it is just a "wafer lock". Huh.

Cabinet cam lock. I think thats it.

@tinker I love these posts where someone slowly through their own research finds what they're looking for. Obviously, I relate.

@tinker It's a cam cylinder. The lock inside is a wafer lock. Usually just called a "cam lock" because stupid.

@tinker I suppose you’ve already tried the venerable C415A and CH751?

@tinker on the replacement route, best bet is to pull it from the housing entirely while unlocked, and grab a set of calipers, dial, digital, or vernier, and take measurements. That way you can find a (mostly) compatible replacement.
I still have a project of rekeying a couple safe-like-objects to take the same key, and that’s the plan I had. In my case it had more to do with the fact they have two different style locks, and I needed to find something with the same keyway that fit both form factors.

@tinker Oh, that was the first lock style I learned to lockpick :3

In offices, they usually have numbers stamped on the cylinder, indicating the key needed to open. There's usually only four or five numbers per manufacturer, and if you don't already have one, you can buy replacement sets

Yeah, I should go through at work and make a list of the keys we need for all the furniture. We've had a few cases of one desk no one has a key for getting locked, but that one will let me in with nothing more than a green xcelite, the matching key would probably be like four nearly matching cuts

@tinker you might be able to use a replacement mailbox lock--they usually come with several tabs to choose from

@tinker looks like a RITTAL IT rack, maybe "Vorreiberverschluss" (in German)?
