I bought a padlock from eBay to secure my gates. It is a lock aimed at
securing chains on motorcycles. I bought it because it is the right
shape and size rather than for anything else, but it is a SoldSecure
one.

However, I want to get some additional keys cut, and it came without
any key code information and the vendor has not (yet) responded to my
query. A couple of key-cutting places have said they cannot do it.

The item is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&rd=1&item=260336333887&ssPageName=STRK:ME WN:IT&ih=016#ebayphotohosting.

For those not following the link, the branding is the word REAL above
a circle inscribed with a straight square, itself inscribed with
another square at 45 degrees. It also bears the text RL-8800 PAT S.S
TOP SECURITY.

I have drawn a blank on finding any info on the manufacturer, so it is
proving difficult to find out how I get additional keys. I didn't
manage to get to my usual, helpful locksmith this weekend so I know
not if he can help.

Any thoughts?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Peter Riocreux
saying something like:

Never heard of them and you'll be lucky. Probably a Chinese one.

Have you checked on the SoldSecure website?

http://www.soldsecure.com/Security_prod.htm

If it ain't there, are you *sure* it really is SoldSecure? (Of course,
if could have been listed when you bought it but not now. No idea what
happens when products are delisted.) That has manufacturer contact details.

A good thought. I am enquiring of SoldSecure as I cannot see it, but
on looking at the ad again it claims it was certified in 2002.

By googling the model number (RL-8800) it appears they are from Taiwan
http://www.reallock.com/products-con...&mid=19&pid=50

You may be able to get additional keys from them.

Are the no numbers on the keys, that would identify their pattern?

At the Uni where I work a day a week, all the window locks have keys marked
SoldSecure. 200+ student flats + landings so there must be 300 windows with
this brand of key, so I'm guessing it must be a known available brand of
lock.

Sold Secure is just a test this lock has passed, it's not the make!

This lock is 100% genuine sold secure and was certified and approved in 2001.



This chap "pete" has never called us to resolve this slanderous claim that
this lock is not certified.


Peter you need to get the facts straight and respond to the numerous
requests.


I provided the PDF link from sold secure of when it was tested and approved
Gold Standard.

Wow, now there's customer service for you. A customer has a genuine
problem with the product, asks perfectly reasonable questions without
disparaging the seller, then you stalk them onto Usenet and accuse
them of slander!

Remind me _never_ to buy anything from "KWFM Motorcycle Parts/
Accessories" on eBay!

I don't see that he ever made any such claim (at least,
not in public).

That's the sort of eBay seller I hope I never deal with
(and to date, I'm pleased to say I never have).
I wouldn't respond to anything phrased in that tone either.
