International Locks

It's interesting to see what locks are in use in other countries. I came across a particularly interesting post on a forum that shows a very robust looking Russian lock.

Have a click on the link and you will not only see the lock but the internal mechanism has also been photographed. You can see that this is a lever lock that is common on garage doors over there..

Also, within that forum thread one member mentions that in Portugal lever locks are common. Obviously different to the US and UK where pin tumbler locks seem to be far more popular.

What about you?

Let us know in the discussion below what locks are popular in your country.
