These combination and key locks, spotted in a school at the end of the semester, were used to secure the lockers in that school. After each semester, the lockers that were not cleaned out had their locks sawed off in order to facilitate the emptying of those lockers and making them available for the next semester. The locks, set by the door as trash, were found and preserved by sealing them inside a plexiglass box and they have even appeared in a few art shows until being retired to the artist's studio. Always a conversation piece in the studio, the boxed locks make a great doorstop too. Thanks for visiting and please come back often!
