For:
#1 FORGING IRON ---- unacceptable (doesn't fit the clue)
#2 PERFUNCTORY --- Yes; #3 PAIR/PARE --- Yes
#10 PARIAH is correct, but I would explain it as P(initial letter of Police)+RIAH (lock=hair-rev), with A housed inside P+RIAH -- P(A)RIAH

MOON for #9; STERN for # 5; WROUGHT IRON for # 1, and EIGHTEEN for # 7 are all correct.
However, I would explain EIGHTEEN (# 7) as a homophone of ATE EEN (EEN is used for EVEN)

SITUP for # 8 is correct. PUT is reversed, and Jose says SI in agreement.

CROSS for #4 is correct.
While RADIANCE for #6 is not a bad answer, I was looking for - SUNSHINE.
(breaking the clue -- Solar lights require this|| on a bright day you see)
