Locks and keys are brass....
Some are steel........
I work at a hardware store, and we re-key locks all the time. We usually keep the keys from the new locks we sell and re-key since the customers can't use them anyway. Another guy in the store is the one who got me into scrapping and has been there a lot longer than me and has claim to the scrap from the store. (Don't wanna bud in on his turf since I work with him too.) But check with your local hardware store too. We sell appliances and take away the old ones as well. Could be a source of scrap for someone else if not me.
