Joe,
   
  They were called Rayco locks used exclusively by signal departments.

Not for anything, but wouldn't equipment cases be secured (on the 
former Erie anyway) with the triangular type equipment "locks" as 
opposed to the usual switch locks. These "locks" required a 
triangular shaped tubular type "key" to open. I can remember making 
that type key out of a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing and hammered 
into a triangle shape.

Legal disclaimer: Never used it for any unsavory purpose though! ;-)
