The puzzle lock, also called a trick lock or puzzle padlock, is a lock that integrates a puzzle or challenge into its unlocking mechanism. This archival, or encyclopedic list, is a moderately comprehensive register of puzzle padlocks from around the globe, displaying the lock name, designer, and the manufacturer if known. Each image below also displays a higher resolution photo when clicked. While this list is expansive, it remains a work in progress, continuously evolving to encompass new padlocks as they are discovered or released. If a lock is missing, please email me details via the contacts tab above.
