Got this from Mur Lock 68. It is a beauty, and operates so smoothly. Ended up adding some graphite to smooth it out. Ill show you how in the video. Not my fastest pick on this lock, but much faster than before the graphite. Happy #quickpickthursday")

As promised, I have a package with some great antique Yale locks - including what I am calling a handbag lock. Then, well pick an antique mail lock, designed to count how many times it was opened. The mail lock comes to me from Chris Capune.")

Got this rusty mess on eBay for $5. Worried I had bought a paperweight. But, with some serious effort, I cleaned it and made a key for it. The result is a real OhMyGawd transformation.")

Been a while, I know. Today, I have two Yale Banjo locks, from use in the rail yards, and a beautiful Yale dual custody lock from OSU (Ohio State University). Dual custody means two keyways, and two different owners can open the lock, without having the same key. And, well end by doing a quick pick on the Yale dual custody lock.")
