CUT-A-WAY LOCKS
True cut-away locks go all the way back to the wooden models of locks sent into the U.S. Patent Office with the paper work to get a patent. The lock companies made cut-away locks for there agents to show to there customers and were put on lock displays. Some lock companies still make cut-away locks to this day. True cut-away locks are highly prized by the collector, so its no wonder why trying to fake a cut-away is becoming popular to try.
