Lights. Locks. and Faucets.

Newer to scrapping,

Im trying to figure out how far I should go into breaking down and sorting each of these items I got from work. How could I min/max the scrap value from everything?

The inside part of the light is steel(magnetic), but the outside is non-magnetic and somewhat light, could this be aluminum? Its a lot of screws to fully breakdown tho, so I was thinking of just clipping the wires and throwing the rest into shred pile.

The locks I havent broken down yet but are pretty heavy and I would assume have atleast some wiring inside?.

The faucets,
I stripped all of the obvious copper/brass from each one and separated those off. Now, I am left with a pile of (zinc?)/ plastic pieces, and a bin with the hoses. After taking the brass off the hoses, the rest is shred?

I would appreciate any insights on my scrap, thanks.
