Lock Restoration (Before & After)
Posted: Wed May 21, 2008 3:09 pm
Personally i love coming accross old rusted, beat up locks and then cleaning them up all new and shiny, if it's re-keyable i'll also give the core a good once over and put some fresh pins and spings into it so i have a pretty decent working lock with key. The aim of this thread is to see what locks you may have come accross and cleaned up, if you have a before and after shot that would be great but if not just the after shot would be appreciated, i know quite a few of you on here (off the top of my head "awol70") like to clean up old locks, i for one will be veryt intrested in seeing your best efforts. Also it would be great if you told us how you cleaned the lock e.g what cleaning substances did you use and anything really you feel will benefit the members off the board on the subject of Lock restoration.
