In this video, I unbox a genuine piece of Sydney locksmith history — a 60-year-old screen door closer made by the McCallum Lock Company in NSW, Australia.
This old cardboard box has survived decades, and inside is an original screen door closer from a time when hardware was over-engineered, built to last, and proudly made locally.
I’ll open it up on camera, show the parts, talk about the history, and compare it to modern door closers so you can see just how much things have changed over the last 60 years.
If you enjoy vintage locksmith gear, hardware history, or rare unboxings, this is one you’ll love.
