Posted By: Bill H Sun, May 03, 2015 This is an external lock of a type that functions somewhat like a Western padlock but unlocks with a flat key that slides into one end. Such locks frequently are seen on old Chinese and Korean wooden cabinets and boxes, both antique and newly made in the antique style. |
