Adlake railroad locks and keys have a long history dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. “Adlake” is the trade name associated with Adams \u0026amp; Westlake, a major American manufacturer of railroad hardware. The company has been involved with the railroad industry for roughly 160 years and continues to manufacture railway locks and hardware today. Adlake's locks became particularly widespread because railroads needed extremely durable hardware that could survive vibration, weather and heavy use. Historical railroad collections document Adlake locks being used by railroads such as the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul \u0026amp; Pacific (Milwaukee Road) and the Pennsylvania Railroad.\u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eAdlake produced several types of locks for railroads, including:\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch locks — secured track switches so unauthorized people couldn't change the route of a train.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal-box locks — protected railroad signaling equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive and cab locks — restricted access to locomotive equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtility and equipment locks — used on doors, gates, cabinets and other railroad property.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for stopping by TreasureHunterCo!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdlake Railroad Locks and Keys - All Locks have Working Keys - Antique Railroad Relics - Adlake Brand\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53428161184041,"sku":"GA-RR-ADL-NB","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/IMG_6700.png?v=1786730206","url":"https:\/\/treasurehunterco.com\/products\/adlake-railroad-locks-and-keys-all-locks-have-working-keys-antique-railroad-relics-adlake-brand","provider":"Treasure Hunter Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
