Take a look inside an old US Yale knobset from the Men’s Shed and see how locks were made years ago compared to modern locks used today. In this video, I pull apart and inspect the old Yale lock, looking at the build quality, weight, materials, internal design, and overall craftsmanship.
Older locks were often built heavy, solid, and designed to last for decades. So, in this comparison, we look at what has changed over time, including the differences in lock mechanisms, materials, manufacturing methods, and security features used in today’s door hardware.
