Mitchell S Lock Collection

[Mitchell s]

Hey guys

I've been meaning to start photographing and cataloging my lock collection for a while now, so I finally got the camera out and started going through the locks. This is going to be an evolving thread, as much as i would like to be able to upload my whole collection all at once, it is going to take me a too long. So I'll keep the pictures trickling in over time (keep checking back )

I started on the military stuff for no other reason than it was the top draw of my lock filing cabinet.

Most of my locks are new with boxes, instructions, chains, security cards etc; but as a default I'm not going to photograph that stuff because the volume of photos will be out of control. However if you are a collector and are interested in something specific (and I have it), I'll be more than happy to post a picture request.

Here we go

No offense but I hate you. Just kidding of course but I am very envious of your amazing collection of locks.

[HT4]

Wow, nice collection... I hope you have a good lock to secure them with.

[Papa Gleb]

Yea Im with the rest obviously. HT i would secure them with a master lock #3 just for laughs

[farmall]

Great locks and photography skills

[Deadlock]

Phew!

And this is just part of it? This is going to be a collection worthy of its own museum.

+1 on the excellent photos. What did you take them with? Lighting, too.

Well I was saving that lock till last, as it is the pièce de résistance of the whole collection. But if you insist:

Master 140





Look at the bitting on that monster!

Nothing fancy on the camera side (just a point and shoot), but setting up the lighting makes the difference I find.

All you are missing is a picture of the civilian 140 in the center of the military locks. A little intimidation if you please.

Hey everyone, its been quite a while between updates, so I grabbed the camera again.

very nice! i was wondering who got a couple of those off eBay.

[Mitchell s]

Thanks yeah eBay is a killer, I can't help myself..

[spuds]

nice collection you got there !

[Deadlock]

'Monolithic' would be a good word to describe those shrouded Assa Rukos.

A collection that would be difficult (and expensive!) to imitate.
