As you know, I tend to only post when I get more locks, and its been a dry season, since I tend to look for the special ones, and dont buy as often. Got these in an online auction, and managed to get a few great looks at a fantastic price. Enjoy!")

While raking is a fast way in for basic locks, it is still helpful to reduce the picking time on those with complicated security pins.")

The northeast is getting a pretty heavy storm. But, Buffalo is seeing several days of continued snow, along with high winds. Were all hunkered down in our homes, and it is illegal (and almost impossible) to drive. So, Xmas eve will not include family visits and the like. Just thought some of you might find this interesting. It is only like this once every 50 years or so, and this will pass by Sunday morning.")

Got two more Antiques today. A common 1930s Corbin, and a beautiful Yale from the BR&P railway line. After I show those, Ill pick through a Kasp shrouded shackle padlock I got from Mur-Lock. Strangely, it picks in order of the pins, 1,2,3,4,5")
