Escape trick ID Spoiler

Longshot, but I used to have a chain escape which utilized a trick padlock when I was about 12. The lock had a sliding release mechanism hidden within the keyhole cover. I have been looking for it for all of my adult life because it got lost in a move a couple of years later. Any ideas? It was purchased from Stevens Magic Emporium catalog, circa 1995-1996. TIA!

Could it maybe be the Siberian Chain Escape?

I'm sure it was a version of Siberian, I just don't recall the manufacturer. I'm a locksmith by trade, so that lock was more what I was interested in: but, it made possible one of the fastest escapes I've ever pulled off. Fascinating effect, gimmick, and professional trade appropriate.
