Tony is hardcore enough to mill his own key to fit the keyway; and turn
pins on a lathe.
Medeco locks are very difficult to pick.  If you turn spool pins, with
"false gates" both vertically and rotationally, they would be way harder
to pick than would be reasonable for the use.


Somewhere at the bottom of my biggest pile of junk, I have a Medeco lock
from a front panel.  It yousta be on the table behind tha Amiga; NO idea
where it is now.
